In this article we will show you how you can search through the logs that have been generated by a workflowblock, to find information on what was transferred, and when it happened.

The three search types

Canvas provides different ways of searching through the logged data. The following screenshots will illustrate the differences between the three search types:

1) Search option “All data”:

“All data” simply returns all data output from a block in a given time range:

...

2) Search option “By response”:

“By response” is only available if you have defined a search model for a block, which lets you search for specific values in specific fields (for example search for specific employee numbers, order numbers, etc.)

...

3) Search option “By user log”:

“By user log” lets you type in a text string to search through all messages generated using logger.log() in the block code. (Note that search string should not be placed within quotation marks, i.e. just Test, not “Test”).
