Simple logging to macOS Console.app, to file or to a table.
Requires the MBS plugin. Logging to Console is Mac-only. Contains a copy of our Swiss Army Knife Custom Function for paths conversion and formatting.
All our FileMaker-based projects and products are prefixed with an F and the T is for tools, technology, tipps&tricks, techniques or open templates for the community. These files are basically examples and demonstrations where you can copy stuff from and include it your individual apps and solutions.

Please download the example and copy the custom functions to your app. From the Scripts menu turn on logging either to Console.app or to a textfile on your desktop. Everytime you navigate to list and detail view, the action is logged.
For the documentation of the functions' parameters, take a look their source.
We recommend creating a filter to display only MBS messages. Enter 'MBS' into the search field, hit return and change the 'any' selector to 'library', then hit the save button. You can also create a filter for all FileMaker messages using process=FileMaker Pro.
