Displaying debug information

Use Display debug info to turn on debug mode and resolve problems as you configure views.

About this task

When Display debug info is enabled, the following additional elements are displayed in the header when you access views:

  • The name of the view that is open.

    When the view name is shown, you can test the view rules and verify that the correct view is displayed. Click the view name, and the View Designer opens.

  • Why can't I save?

    Why can't I save? is displayed in Creation, Task, and Admin Views if there's a problem that prevents you from saving your work. For example, if a required field for an object is empty, the Save button is disabled. Click Why can't I save? to view informational text that explains why Save is not enabled.

    Debug mode is turned on and a check mark displays next to Display Debug Info.
  2. To turn off debug mode, click Display debug info again.
