Reports

A Report is a durable artifact of one Scenario take, not a temporary Console dump. It is where a recording becomes an investigation.

Reports overview

From the Reports feature you can browse recordings, open one into the workspace, pin, rename, or delete, and send evidence to MindBoard with Add to MindBoard or Reveal in MindBoard. Open a Report when you are ready to ask what happened, with the recording already in hand.

Workspace view modes

Tree

Hierarchical scopes and events. Tree is the map of the recording, and the place to orient yourself before time-based exploration.

  • Answers Where in the hierarchy did this happen?

Flow

Execution travel through the scope hierarchy, with playback-oriented controls. Especially useful for teaching and reviews, because the path is visible.

  • Answers How did execution travel?

Timeline

Time-based modules covering activity, methods, memory, watches, probes, and more. The playhead keeps Timeline aligned with Watch Studio and Probe Map.

  • Answers When did it happen?
Report Timeline Overview with recording length, scopes, methods, exceptions, and activity graphs
Timeline Overview is the first read of a Report: duration, volume, and where activity clustered.

Placeholder views

Statistics, Events, and Comparison appear in the view selector but are marked as future. Use Tree, Flow, and Timeline for investigation today.

Toolbar essentials

Search scopes Expand and Collapse All Jump to Watch Studio Jump to Probe Map Export

Use search when you know a scope or symbol name. Use Expand and Collapse to control hierarchy density before you dive.

Export

Format Best for
JSON Structured interchange, tooling, and archives
HTML Readable sharing with teammates or stakeholders
Markdown Tickets, design docs, and pull request notes

See Export and Storage for persistence details.

Read a Report efficiently

Skim Timeline Overview

Find when the interesting moment occurs.

Open Tree around it

Get hierarchical context for that moment.

Follow the value

If a watched value is involved, open Watch Studio, then Causal Flow from a suspicious write.

Check the environment

If timing matters, open Probe Map, then pin durable findings to MindBoard.

This path prevents opening every panel out of habit.

Reports and Scenarios

The Scenario defines the capture recipe; the Report stores one run of it. If a Report is weak, improve the Scenario and record again rather than staring harder at incomplete evidence.
