By the use of these Logging Notebooks support cases like,
e.g.,
- The calibration of an interest rate model does not work?
- The valuation delivers an unreasonable result?
- Have I set up the instrument correctly?
If a user gives me a call and poses one of these or a
similar question, I ask him / her to
send the corresponding Logging Notebook, which he / she can download from the
corresponding details page (the following screenshot shows this download
possibility):

So, while we are talking on the phone, I already can
- open this Logging Notebook in Mathematica and load the UnRisk-Q package
- perform the same valuation as the customer on my local machine without having the need to being connected to his / her UnRiskFACTORY
- check within this Notebook the used market data, interest rate model, instrument data, scenario, ….
In
most of the cases the question of the customer can be answered within a few
minutes.
Just
to give you a short impression how the contents of such a Logging Notebook
looks like (with yome experience – which all of our developers have – it’s self
explaining ;-) ), here is a small piece of the UnRisk-Q function call:

At the end I just can say thank you to all of our developers – the incorporation of this logging mechanism has made the customer support much simpler and faster.
