Generation Log Window Usage
The Log Window provides an initial report of the spy.doc project settings and a progress report as the documentation is generated. As documentation generation can be a lengthy process, depending on the documentation generation options specified, a summary of the phases of documentation generation are reported with date and time stamps. A successful documentation generation log is shown below:
