Debugging Your Lowgile App

When something goes wrong in Lowgile Studio—such as the application name turning red in the Design toolbar—the first place to look is the Monitor.
The Monitor provides real-time logs, errors, and diagnostic information to help you trace and fix issues.

How to Check the Logs

Follow these steps to access and interpret your logs:

1. In the main Lowgile Studio editor, click Monitor in the top toolbar.
2. Select General Log from the Monitor panel.
3. Review the log entries displayed in the table.
   Each row is colour-coded to indicate severity or status.

4. Click the red “i” icon next to an error entry to open its detailed trace log.
   This provides an expanded explanation of the issue and the source of failure.

When to Use the Monitor

Use the Monitor whenever:

• Your module or entity name turns red
• A screen fails to load or save
• Synchronization or data store operations fail
• A process or action produces unexpected behaviour
• You need deeper visibility into runtime issues

The Monitor is your primary debugging tool in Lowgile Studio and should be checked before attempting structural fixes or rebuilds.
