Workflow "Log to History" in a Component Workflow

Hi,

Create Variables in your component workflow to store the information that you want to add to the History List of the item.  Configure it as an OutPut.

Have your componet Workflow populate this variable.

When you run the Component workflow configure the output with a variable to capture the output of the variable from the component workflow.

Now just Log this Variable to the History List of your item.

Hope that makes sense.

Technically, tha would work, but there's a few "wait states" in the component flow and I want to log metrics and key points as things happen, so this approach would not work.

Good suggestion though.

Hey,

It's not super intuitive unfortunately, but as Component Workflows are isolated workflow instances, the log to history details are actually attached to the component workflow instance. If you go to the site your component workflow is published to and check the 'Site Workflow' instances (may need to click the 'Show all workflows' as the default view shows only your own) - you should see the component workflow instances and they should have all their own logs etc. attached there.

Let me know if this helps
