Global Output

At any moment during the execution of a script, or after the script has finished, the Global Output pane contains script output information for all steps of the last run (Figure:Global Output Tab).

For each step of an executed shared procedure, the Show output from: drop-down control displays a step entry prefixed by the procedure name.

When working with multiple scripts opened at the same time in the GUI (MDI functionality), this tab displays information for the currently executing test script.

Although, by default, output information is displayed for all script steps, you can choose to display only the output of a particular step by clicking into the Show output from: drop-down and selecting the step.

To display the output of multiple steps you can also specify a set of values or a range, such as for example 2, 3 or 1 - 3 respectively.

Be aware that at script execution time, when a pane's content exceeds a predefined defined size (1 MByte), messages in excess are dropped and are no longer displayed in the GUI. This condition is indicated by a icon that appears in the pane upper right corner. When messages pertaining to a particular step are dropped, that stepped is also removed from the Show output from: drop-down control.
