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.
