The Workstation Scan log reports the status of the latest scan done at the inventoried workstations associated with the selected Container. For example, you view the Workstation Scan log to determine whether the latest scans were successful for the inventoried workstations or whether the Storer has stored the inventoried workstation .str files in the database. The inventory components (Scanner and Storer) write the scan information in the Status log.
You can also choose whether to display error, warning, and informational status messages of the inventoried workstations.
The following table lists the details of the log:

.When the Scanner creates a .str file of an inventoried workstation and the Selector processes this file, the inventory components also log the status of the scanning in the Workstation Status log. It is possible that at the same time, the Storer is processing the .str files of another inventoried workstation. Meanwhile, the Scanner continues scanning and updates the Workstation Status log for the next scan.
