Logging of events is central in getting FotoWeb to include the right types of information in your reports. Read more about how to enable logging of the various events so that you can create meaningful reports.
Any metadata that should be included in the logs must be written to the connected database.
You choose the fields that are written to the database, in the Activity logging section of the Site Properties section of the configuration. A screenshot can be seen below.
In this configuration window, you will need to enable Write to database and Write IPTC to database. It is important that IPTC is also written to the database, since this is required to make the standard reports work correctly.
Next, place a checkbox next to the events you want to log and the metadata fields you want to enable logging for in the database.
Important: Enabling event logging of Page View events will generate very large logs because of the sheer amounts of page requests on a busy FotoWeb server. You may want to consider disabling logging of this event to make your log file smaller.
The Source, Byline and Object Name fields are used in the standard reports. Hence, logging of these fields is enabled by default. While it is technically possible to disable logging of these fields, we strongly advise against it since doing so will render the standard reports useless. For this reason, you should never switch off the Write IPTC to database option unless you have very specific reasons for doing so.
