Views
Views window tells administrators and other stakeholders about security and network events. A
View window is an interactive dashboard made up of widgets. Each widget is the output of a query.
A Widget pane can show information in different formats, for example, a chart or a table.
SmartConsole comes with several predefined views. You can create new views that match your
needs, or you can customize an existing view. Views are accurate to the time they were generated
or refreshed.
In the Logs & Monitor view, clicking the (+) tab opens a catalog of all views and reports, predefined
and customized. To open a view, double-click the view or select the desired view and click Open
from the action bar.

Reports
A report has multiple pages, and applies to the time that the report is generated. There are
several predefined reports, and you can create new reports. A report gives more details than a
view. Reports can be customized, filtered, generated and scheduled. You cannot drill down into a
report.
