For those who are wondering, these are the exact steps that you need to perform to set up a filter for application log records with the new approach:

1. Make sure that you have the “Expression tools plugin” revision 115202 or higher added to your component.
2. Use the process “N\_Application log - Write log with dynamic record reference” as mentioned above to write your logs.
3. Make sure that you consume the concept N\_ApplicationLog and create a virtual page for it:

4. Add a new function to the virtual page called “is linked to record()” of the type “boolean”:

5. Click on the plugin button to apply the “Expression tools” plugin to your new function:

6. Chose the option “record links to me” from the available options and click OK. Do not worry about the red colors, it should work fine.

7. Click OK again:

8. Make sure you consume the feature “N\_Record reference v2” for the “N\_ApplicationLog” concept:

9. Right click on your new function and then on “properties”:

10. Go to the plugin configuration tab and fill in the fields with the consumed features. Then click OK:

11. Your new function is now ready and can be used anywhere to filter application logs. For example, within other expressions for processes or as a filter for grids of application logs, for example:
