Rows View Feature

The Rows View feature in LogLab allows users to control how log entry rows are displayed in the grid, offering flexibility to view log messages according to their preferences. This feature includes two primary options for row display and additional controls to adjust the message size.

Key Features:

• Single Row View:

  • This is the default view that shows only the first row of the log entry message field, even if the message contains multiple rows. It provides a concise and compact view, making it easier to scan through log entries quickly.

• Full Message View:

  • This option displays more rows of the log entry message, allowing users to see the full content of the log message directly in the grid. It is useful for detailed analysis of log entries with multiline messages.

Message Size Control:

Users can further customize the Rows View by adjusting the message size. The following options are available to control how many rows of the message are displayed:

• Very Small:

  • Displays a minimal number of rows for each log entry message, providing a highly compact view.

• Small:

  • Shows a slightly larger portion of the message compared to the Very Small option, but still maintains a compact layout.

• Medium:

  • Balances between showing enough content of the message while keeping the view relatively compact.

• Large:

  • Displays a substantial portion of the message, suitable for users who need to see more details without expanding to the full message.

• Very Large:

  • Shows an extensive portion of the message, allowing for in-depth viewing of log entries with longer messages.

• Unlimited:

  • Displays the entire message regardless of its length, ensuring that all content is visible within the grid.

How It Works:

1. Selecting Rows View:

   • Navigate to the 'View' tab in the ribbon.
   • Choose between 'Single Row' or 'Full Message' to control the basic display of log entry rows.

2. Adjusting Message Size:

   • In the 'View' tab, locate the 'Message Size' options.
   • Select one of the following options: Very Small, Small, Medium, Large, Very Large, or Unlimited.
   • The selected message size will determine how many rows of the log entry message are displayed in the grid.

Use Cases:

• Quick Scanning: Use the Single Row view with a Very Small or Small message size to quickly scan through a large number of log entries.
• Detailed Analysis: Switch to Full Message view with a Large or Very Large message size to analyze the content of multiline log messages in detail.
• Custom View: Adjust the message size according to your specific needs, ensuring an optimal balance between compactness and detail.

Benefits:

• Flexibility: Provides options to tailor the view of log entry rows according to user preferences and requirements.
• Efficiency: Enhances the ability to quickly scan or deeply analyze log entries by adjusting the message size.
• User-Friendly: Simple and intuitive controls in the ribbon for easy customization of the log entry view.
