The Cobwebb Fax Log provides a complete record of all incoming and outgoing messages.  It also provides a detailed communications audit trail. This can be found from the Cobwebb Fax & Email Menu - Option 5.

The Log is implemented as a multi-member database file.  A new member is added each time a communications session is started, this member will store data specific to that device session.  Log file member names are prefixed by 'FAX' for fax and ‘EML’ for email followed by the communications process job number (e.g. member FAX123456 pertains to fax communications job 123456).

You may scan one or more log file members for a specified text string.  For example, you may wish to review all messages sent to a particular destination.  To do this, you could search on either the destination fax number or email address (or perhaps the name of the addressee).  Each time the search string is encountered, the message containing the string is displayed (see WRKQ > 5=View).

Log file members may also be saved offline.  When one or more members are saved, the queue entries are also saved.
