About This Feature

Overview

Log is the run log feature in the DBSheet automation editor of WPS Office for Windows. It helps you review automation run records, turn on failed-run notifications, and filter or refresh the log list when needed.

Core tasks include:

Open run logs: Open the Log panel from the left side of the automation editor to review run records for the current flow.
Manage run logs: Turn on failed-run notifications and use filter or refresh actions to find records more quickly.

This feature is useful for troubleshooting automation failures, confirming whether a flow ran successfully, and monitoring flow status during daily work.

Capability Summary	View run logs in the DBSheet automation editor, with failed-run notifications plus filter and refresh actions in the same panel.	Power Automate provides run history with start time, duration, status, and failed-run details for troubleshooting.	AppSheet Audit History records syncs, adds, updates, deletes, automations, reports, and documents, with filters for failures, dates, users, and more.	Notion provides an enterprise audit log with filters, while database automations can send notifications for database events.	Acrobat provides document status notifications, activity updates, search and filter tools, and step-by-step history for tracked documents.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The log entry is built directly into the automation editor, so viewing logs, enabling failed-run notifications, and filtering or refreshing records can be done in one place.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers deeper cloud-flow troubleshooting fields, but the experience is centered on a broader automation platform rather than an in-editor DBSheet log panel.	Compared with WPS: Google covers a wider app-level audit scope, but richer filtering and alert features are tied to enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Audit logs and database automations are split across different features, and some capabilities depend on paid or enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on document sharing, signing, and tracking workflows instead of spreadsheet-style automation run logs.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Log is a practical choice when you want to check automation run history directly inside DBSheet on Windows and handle routine tasks such as failed-run alerts, filtering, and refreshing in one panel. If your team needs broader enterprise audit coverage, cross-system automation monitoring, or document-signing lifecycle tracking, the other platforms provide more specialized options.
