# Creating Custom Perspectives in the Log Inspector

Every developer has a different style. You can use one of our out-of-the box perspectives, create a custom perspective, or modify an existing perspective.

For a list of out-of-the box perspectives, see [Log Inspector](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.code_dev_console_view_system_log.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The Log Inspector is a context-sensitive execution viewer in the Developer Console. It shows the source of an operation, what triggered the operation, and what occurred next. Use this tool to inspect debug logs that include database events, Apex processing, workflow, and validation logic.").

1. In the Developer Console, open a log in the Log Inspector.
2. Click **Debug** | **View Log Panels** and select the panels you want to include in the perspective.
    
    For a list of available panels, see [Log Inspector](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.code_dev_console_view_system_log.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The Log Inspector is a context-sensitive execution viewer in the Developer Console. It shows the source of an operation, what triggered the operation, and what occurred next. Use this tool to inspect debug logs that include database events, Apex processing, workflow, and validation logic."). If you modify a perspective, an \* is appended to the perspective name until it is saved.

    Tip If you create a perspective that includes the **Execution Log** panel, you may want to include the **Source** panel.
3. To save your changes, click **Save Perspective**. To create a new perspective, click **Save Perspective As** and enter a new name.
