Hi @Aditya1702,

I want to add some further details to the  answer of @VladimirN which referes to techniques    showing how to wirte an entry to TWX log . There some addtional  taks to complete the task

- Question when you need to call that twx service and  how to prepare the time string:

• you can use some events e.g. when you enter a view 

  $scope.$on('$ionicView.afterEnter', function()  {
  // when you enter a view , you can call that from there 
  })​

• or any other what you want to log  mentioned in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio-and-Chalk-Tech/List-of-Vuforia-Studio-events-which-we-could-be-used-as-listener/ta-p/613258
• you can write an etry to log when you use $scope.navigate(<view>) or when you call 
• use a time as https://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/#page/Studio_Help_Center%2FIntermediateJSInterval.html%23wwID0EG1AU
• when you try to open a new experience as mentioned in https://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/#page/Studio_Help_Center%2FTutorialExperienceFromExperience.html%23wwID0ESCFU
• bevore you go to scan mode ... e.g using the api call 

  $scope.app.fn.navigateToScanMode()​

-what string you will write there .e.g. the timestring

• the generation of the time string in javascript is some think like that:

  //=================================================================================================
  $scope.getTime = function() {
  var date = new Date();
  var h = date.getHours(); // 0 - 23
  var m = date.getMinutes(); // 0 - 59
  var s = date.getSeconds(); // 0 - 59
  var session = "AM";
  if(h == 0){h = 12;}
  if(h > 12){h = h - 12;session = "PM";}
  h = (h < 10) ? "0" + h : h;
  m = (m < 10) ? "0" + m : m;
  s = (s < 10) ? "0" + s : s;
  var time = h + ":" + m + ":" + s + " " + session;
  return time;
  }​
