Workflow Event Trace Leave On or Turn Off

[Rick Bakker]

Hi David,

I like to leave the event trace turned on. I have found this to be the case
at most sites. Also, most workflow people I have worked with agree with
this approach. The overhead is minuscule compared to the information it
adds.

regards
Rick Bakker
