Configuration of Task Logs 

Use

You use this function to copy the layout of a standard log to your own layouts, which you then customize as needed.

Features

You cannot change the layout of standard logs. However, you can copy the layout of a standard log as often as desired, rename the copy, and customize your copy as needed.

Layouts can be configured as follows:

·        You can show or hide characteristics and/or key figures.

·        You can enable breakdowns for a characteristic. Then you are able to drill down the characteristic when viewing the log.

·        You can show or hide the description of a characteristic value.

In some sublists of a log, you can change the order of characteristics and key figures (for example, by dragging and dropping).

The assignment of active layouts to a task is dependent on the version, time, and period category.

Task logs of data collection tasks cannot be configured.
