In iPaper, any updates to your Flipbook, like running an Enrichment Automation or changing the source PDF, are referred to as “processing” the Flipbook. Every time you run one of these processes, a log is created that details what process was run and the result from this process.
📖 This guide explains:
How to see the 5 latest processings on your account
You can see the 5 latest processings on your iPaper account by clicking on the Flipbook processing status button in the top bar:
The Processing activity list offers a great overview over any processings you have undertaken recently, and additional details such as:
when the processing was completed
the result of the processing
successful processing is shown as a black bar
failure to update Enrichments using an Enrichment Automation is shown in a yellow bar
failure to update the PDF using Change PDF is shown in a red bar
If you manage many flipbooks, tracking recent changes can be challenging when limited to the latest 5. Fortunately, iPaper also provides a log of your 100 most recent processings, making it easier to monitor updates across your account.
How to see the 100 latest processings on your account
To open your log of the 100 latest processings on your iPaper account:
Click on the Flipbook processing status button in the top bar.
At the bottom of the window, select Latest 100 processings. This will open the Latest processings console for your iPaper account:
