# Log Detail Viewer

When a **Log** line is selected on the **Manage Logs** screen, the **Log Detail** window will open and display the line-by-line detail of that particular **Log** entry on a suitably coloured background - successfully completed **Logs** will be on **GREEN**, cancelled **Logs** will be on **YELLOW**, and failed **Logs** will be on **PINK**.

This is the same screen as displayed on the immediate conclusion of the running of an **Action**.
