Logs provide a record trail for any issues encountered within the environment. It is a best practice to include logging within a process in case any users/end-users are to occur an error during runtime.

The Log step is the main step used to create logs when a Flow reaches a particular outcome path. The following example demonstrates how to use and configure the Log step within a Flow.

Properties

Setup Log

Property		Description	Data Type
Type		Also known as Levels, this setting declares the level of importance and severity of the error described in the log. The following default types are as follows:	---
	Info	This information to the user on an occurrence is typically used outside of error tracking.	---
	Debug	This catches most exceptions that do not fall under the other categories.	---
	Warn	This tracks potential issues that do not impede the process from running. These are typically less critical issues.	---
	Error	This tracks when a process cannot complete properly.	---
	Fatal	This environment-breaking level warning stops a process (or multiple processes) from running.	---
Category		Users may enter one of these pre-defined categories or create their own custom log categories.	---

Inputs
