Currently, some users face difficulty in viewing the Log Reporter in Source even after using methods such as ticking the sub-menu and resetting the windows in the Edit menu. In order to view the Log Reporter in such a case, please perform the steps below

  1. Close any open instances of Source.

  2. Hit the Windows Key + R to open the Run Window:

  1. Type in %appdata% and hit enter or click OK. This will take you to C:\Users\<LOGGED_IN_USER>\AppData\Roaming\

    1. Alternatively, you can just go to this path directory via Windows Explorer.

  2. Go into the "eWater" folder, then the "Source" folder (not the "eWater Source" folder, or any "RiverSystem*" type folders)

  3. Find and delete the "DockPanel.config" file:

This will reset all window positions in Source.

  1. You may need to turn on "View > Show > File name extensions" to see the full name, but if the file is just "DockPanel" that's still the correct one to delete:

  1. Open Source, and the Log Reporter should be at the bottom of the screen, and all windows will have been reset to the default positions.
