The Experiment View History function shows experiments' viewing events. By default, the table is arranged by the view date with the most recently viewed at the top.  All columns can be sorted and filtered. The experiment view history result can be exported as a CSV report.

The experiments, users & user groups, and collaborators you can see in Experiment View History depend on your account privileges. Regular users can see everything they own and experiments & users they can see. System Administrators can see everything.

1. Press “Experiment View History” under the Tools tab on the left navigation bar. The list of the latest viewers of each experiment, experiment type, and owner is shown in the table (see the screenshot below). The total number of experiment views made by the user (viewer) is listed in the last column. Clicking the experiment name, which is a linkable field, will open the experiment in a new browser window.

Experiment View History can be filtered in multiple ways.

2. Filter Experiment View History by Group
   1. Make a single click on the Viewer Group Filter field above the table.
   2. Choose a specific group by marking/ticking the checkbox next to the group name in the dropdown.
   3. You can also look for a specific group by typing the first letters of its name into the white field. Put in time order experiment view history, composed of viewers from the Group you selected, will automatically accrue when you click somewhere on the displayed table.

Note: For the group, collaborator, and viewer filtering, Admins can see all people. Regular users can only see people that are visible to them. For the experiment, experiment type, and owner filtering Admins also can see all experiments that were created by all people. Regular users can only see the experiments that are visible to them or owned by them.

10. All columns can be sorted by clicking the column header. After pressing the column header, results in the table are sorted and there is an arrow pointing up or down next to the column header.

11. To generate a CSV report, press the “Export As CSV” field on the left corner, below the Experiment View History table.
