Feedback Zone

The Feedback Zone is a tool that displays error and informational messages about the currently executing process or the operation last performed. Various components that are hosted within Workflow can also post messages about the results of operations and tasks in the Feedback Zone.

The Feedback Zone is a dynamically hidden pane at the bottom of the Workflow client workspace. You can open the Feedback Zone to view and/or clear messages. Different types of messages are displayed within the Feedback Zone, including confirmations, information, warnings, errors and debugging information.

The Feedback Zone also provides you with status information about the currently executing or the last performed operation. Various components that are hosted within Workflow client can post messages about the results of operations and tasks in the Feedback Zone. When a new error is posted to the Feedback Zone, you are notified by an animated Error box in the status bar. Additional detailed information is stored in log files within the application's directory structure for redundancy and history.

The types of data reporting in the Feedback Zone are:

Status information for long-running operations
Lists of successful and failed operations for complex actions
Information in the status bar of the Feedback Zone shows the number of selected objects, the number of error and warning messages, progress bar, and status of the last result, whether it was successful or unsuccessful.

The Feedback Zone is available on all Workflow client layouts.
