How to check marco results?

I have a workflow which includes a marco. How can I check the result of each step of this marco when I run the workflow? Currently I can only see the messages instead of details.

@zqlcancer Under the configurationpan>Runtime, there is an option to select 'Show All Macro Messages'. Is that what you are looking for?

I have selected this but as I mentioned I can only see the messages e.g. 2 records were true, but I would like to see which 2 records were true.

@zqlcancer If you add another Macro output tool onto the macro, and have it spit out the records from the Filter tool, you can then have the workflow spit the records that were true.

Inside the macro, you can go to Interface Designer. On Interface designer there are a couple of buttons on the left. Test will spin you up a workflow of the macro with whatever options you choose. You can then run that to see it as a normal workflow.

 

There may still be floating around somewhere the X-Ray Browse, which will allow you to see a couple of records as messages, but it's an added macro for testing. Check that Blog post linked for more info. 

 

However, this is not an edit and save scenario. That test workflow is one way, as in it spins up and you test... but if you want to make a change to the macro, you go back to the macro and do it.
