6 Log List

6.1 Overview

The Log List displays all processed files in various categories. The display is divided into tabs representing different processing results.


6.2 Tabs

6.2.1 Successful Processing

Shows all files that were successfully processed. An entry appears here when all configured tasks were executed without errors.

Columns:

Column Description
Date Time of processing
Profile Name of the applied profile
PDF Modification Date Date of last modification in the PDF file
File Creation Date Date of creation
File Name Original file name
Source Folder Original folder path
Attachments Names of contained attachments
File Size File size of the PDF file
Task Name of the respective task
Task Details Detailed information about the tasks

6.2.2 Errors

Shows files where errors occurred during processing.

Typical Error Causes:

Error Possible Cause
File not found File was moved or deleted
Access denied File is locked or permissions are missing
Target folder does not exist Configured target folder not present
PDF error Corrupted or password-protected PDF
Email sending failed Network or configuration problem

6.2.3 No Match

Shows files that did not match the filter criteria of any active profile.

Typical Reasons:

  • No profile monitors the folder
  • The file does not match the filter criteria
  • All matching profiles are deactivated

Tip: Check the filter settings of the profile if files appear here that should actually be processed. Add the files to the profile’s example files and check the filter results preview.

6.2.4 No Text

Shows PDF files that contain no extractable text. This typically applies to:

  • Scanned documents without OCR
  • Images saved as PDF
  • PDF files with embedded graphics instead of text

Solution: Use the OCR task to process these files with text recognition.

6.2.5 Locked Files

Shows files that could not be accessed during processing because they were locked by another program.

Columns:

Column Description
Detected Since Time since the file was detected as locked
File Path Full path to the locked file

Typical Causes:

  • File is open in a PDF viewer
  • Scanner software has not yet released the file
  • Antivirus program is checking the file

Note: The program periodically retries accessing locked files. Once the lock is released, processing continues.

6.2.6 Retry

Shows files where retry attempts after errors are configured.

Additional Columns:

Column Description
Next Attempt Time of the next retry attempt
Remaining Attempts Number of attempts still possible
Initial Error The original error

6.2.7 Processing Details

Shows real-time information about current processing. This tab is particularly useful during active processing.

  • Current processing step
  • Processing progress

Gray No text / Locked file
Blue Retry scheduled

6.5 Tips for Log Analysis

Recognizing Error Patterns

If multiple files show the same error, there may be a systematic problem:

  • Check the profile settings
  • Verify network connections
  • Check permissions

Monitoring Processing Speed

The Processing Details tab shows how quickly files are being processed. Slow processing may indicate:

  • Overloaded network connections
  • Slow target folders (network drives)
  • Complex OCR processing
  • Large email attachment sending

Regular Cleanup

Regularly hide old log entries to maintain clarity. The data remains in the database and can be restored if needed.
