Customize the OSV Monitor

You can use context menus to customize the Tosca OSV Monitor main window according to your needs. Which options are available in the context menus, depends on which tab or log you are using.

For instance, you can use the Group by this column option to group your completed Scenarios in the column Result and filter for the result Successful. In this case, the Tosca OSV Monitor only displays completed, successful Scenarios.

The context menus offer the following options:

Filter columns and groupings

You can use filters on columns and groupings. This allows you to filter for available values and to create numeric and text filters. Available filter options depend on which column or grouping you are using.

For instance, the column Completed contains date and time of the Scenario completion, i.e. numbers. Therefore, you can filter for available values or numeric values. The column Work State indicates the state of the Scenario, such as Completed, i.e. text. Therefore, you can filter for available values or text.

To set a filter, click the filter icon in the upper-right corner of a column header or a grouping.
