An operation denotes a specific task carried out by a module. Following the execution of your scenario, the "inMultifamily" platform will showcase the number of operations performed by each module in a white bubble situated in the top-right corner of the relevant module.
By clicking on this bubble, you can examine the outcomes of the module's operation in more detail.
In inMultifamily, the total number of operations performed by the modules in your scenario determines the corresponding charges you will incur. If you require further details on how to calculate the number of operations, please refer to the relevant resource on the topic.
T log is a record of every event that takes place during a single run of your scenario. This information is then stored in the scenario execution history. The log will provide you with details regarding each step of the process and any errors that were encountered during the execution of the scenario.
