Highlighting Newer Logs Suggestion
Posted: February 22nd, 2022, 7:52 pm
Add a "Get Latest" button next to "Search" and "Reset". The way it would differ is that it would simply reload the logs with the exact same criteria previously used (ignoring any filter changes) and mark any logs generated since the last refresh of the logs. For example, reloading a page and then clicking "Get Latest" could update the log view and bold the text for all the logs made since the last refresh.
The purpose would be to more easily see what logs were generated in single action or group of actions. So I would load the logs, perform an action, click on "Get Latest", and then be able to see at a glance which logs have been created since the last time the logs were loaded.
To achieve this currently, I have to expand the log list to see the "Started" column and pick out the logs with very similar times. This can be difficult in some situations though as the logs are also not even guaranteed to show in the same order within a group (as can be seen with the rows marked with the red and blue boxes). It's easy enough with a simple example like this, but it can suddenly become difficult to manage when there is a larger mix of different log types.
