Help for Lotus Notes 8 (basic configuration)

SETTING USER PREFERENCES

Log preferences
Your Domino administrator designates the default setting for whether IBM® Lotus® Notes® writes operational messages and errors to a text file on your system. If logging is enabled and your Notes client crashes, an automatic diagnostic collection tool collects data that includes this logging file and sends it to a mail-in application when the client restarts. The logging file is also useful for diagnosing non-crash conditions that may arise.

To stop or start logging of your client messages

1. Click File > Preferences > User Preferences.

Macintosh OS X users:

Click

Lotus Notes

Preferences

2. Click Log and Trace.

3. Do one of the following:

To stop logging for this client session, deselect Enable logging.
To start logging for this client session, select Enable logging.

Note Your administrator controls the following settings:

Whether logging is enabled by default -- the logging setting will revert to the default whenever you restart Notes.
Whether the automatic diagnostic collection tool is invisible to you, or whether you are prompted to choose whether you want to view or send the diagnostic report after a crash.
