A customize log feature has been added to Concordance Desktop that allows you to select specific data to gather and include in the logs, that can provide more detailed information for troubleshooting. In addition to the ability to log more data, this feature also provides easy access to those logs directly from the Admin Console, simplifying the act of locating the logs for troubleshooting.
In order to use the customize logs feature, you must run Concordance Desktop as Administrator (Windows Administrator).

Sometimes you may need to access the folders where the server and client logs are located, so that you can view more detailed logged information, or to send a log file to Support for troubleshooting. While this can be accomplished using Windows Explorer, it is often difficult or cumbersome to locate and open the correct folder. To make locating and opening the folder an easy task, Concordance Desktop provides quick, easy access to the folders from the Extended Logging Options box. See Opening log files for details on how to access the folders.
