View Files

View Files allow you to view the Event Log Files in a dialog without you having to download and open the CSV files in an external app. This has few advantages.

• App enriches User and Report metadata information when you view the file. So you will see User's Name, Profile etc., for User and Report Name, Folder for Reports.
• It lets you view multiple log files of the same type together, so if you are trying to analyze usage across a time window, you do not have to analyze the individual file and then combine the results
• Brobench Viewer has minimal capability compared to Excel or Google Sheets, and hence you can manage to open massive files which will typically hang other apps. Also, how big of a file you can open depends on your system resources.
• You can apply App Datagrid capabilities like Column Filtering and Row Groping to analyze the data
• It allows you to reduce the number of rows that you need to analyze by limiting viewing data to a set of Users with View with Options action.

When you view one or more files, it shows below dialog. Once the data is displayed, you can search, browser, filter, and group get the summary or insights you are looking for.

View Files with Options

When you click on View with Options it shows below dialog where you can enter set of User Ids. The App will still download the files, but it will show only the events matching these User Ids. This can help to massive files like 1gb csv files without consuming too many system resources.
