Creating files when a particular event occurs

1.

Click On Event.

2.

In the Expression field, create the expression that will trigger
creation of a new file. For details about expressions, see
Chapter 14, Creating expressions.

Example: Creating a new file for a new shift

You can set up your project so it creates a new log file at the end of a
shift or batch process. For example, create a tag called NextShift. In
the Activity Log Setup editor, click On Event and type

NextShift

as

the expression.

When the tag evaluates to true, a new activity log file is created to
store the data from the new shift.

Never creating new files

Click Never. Logged data is added to a single file.

When considering how much data to log to a file, keep in mind that
the Activity Log Viewer can display a maximum of 32,767 records at
one time.

To manage disk space if a log file grows too large, stop activity
logging, delete the activity log file, and then restart activity logging.
You cannot delete a log file while activities are being logged. For
details about how to monitor disk space, see page 18-14.
