Logging is controlled in the `Autoform.Client.exe.config` , within the Client install directory. Follow these steps to put Autoform DM Client into DEBUG logging mode:

1. Open the Client install directory mentioned above and locate the following tag:

```taggerscript
<log4net>
     <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
       <file value="${LOCALAPPDATA}&#92;&#92;Formpipe Software&#92;&#92;AUTOFORMDM&#92;&#92;Client&#92;&#92;logs&#92;&#92;${USERNAME}-Client.log"/>
       <appendToFile value="true" />
       <rollingStyle value="Size" />
       <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
       <maximumFileSize value="10000KB" />
       <staticLogFileName value="true" />
       <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
         <conversionPattern value="%date : %thread %level %logger - %message%newline" />
       </layout>
     </appender>
     <root>
       <level value="DEBUG" />
       <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
     </root>
   </log4net>
```

1. Change the file value to "DEBUG" and save the file.
2. Restart DM Client for these changes to take effect.
