For the selected view, the Overview, Log, Security, View Configuration, and Statistics tabs provide the following details about that view:

• Overview indicates whether the view has been published. This tab also summarizes information about the view, such as the PI AF database it uses, when the view was last run, and the shape that it uses. If the view is currently being published, the run status bar indicates progress and you have the option to stop the publishing process.

• Log displays information for the selected view. You can adjust the start and end times, and you can filter the messages to display those of a certain severity, for example, critical errors.

  Note: To protect resource usage, log downloads are limited to a maximum of 100,000 rows, regardless of the start and end times of the log retrieval interval. If you need the entire table of logs, you can retrieve it from the SQL database.

• Security shows who has access to the view, and if you have sufficient privileges, allows you to change the level of access.

• View Configuration gives you a quick overview of your views, including the elements and attributes in the view, details about the elements and attributes and any row filters.

• Statistics displays statistics for the selected view. For more information, see View statistics data.
