# MonitorView Options

The Monitor View Options sheet slides out from the Monitor window when you choose the ViewView Options... menu item.

Check the columns that you wish to include in the tests table of the Monitor window. The changes will occur as soon as you click OK. The meaning of each column is discussed on the tests table page.

In addition, you can indicate whether to display date columns as relative times or absolute dates. The options are:

As relative times: If this item is chosen, the times in the specified column are displayed as offsets from the current time, expressed in the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years since the last occurence (or until the next occurence) of the event in question. This is the default.

As absolute dates: If this item is chosen, the specified column displays the actual date and time of the event in question. It only changes when a new event occurs, e.g. a new change or error.
