- In Smartboard you can view a scatterplot and then click an individual data point to view the corresponding record.

## Record Sections:

The information displayed in a Record depends on the data source. The sections listed in this article apply to common test types including Web, API, Playwright, Puppeteer, and HTTP 

- **Header** - information identifying the Test run including its Run Time, Node, Node IP, and Monitor.
- **Test Summary**: a series of Tiles displaying summary metrics for the Test.
- **Step Selection**: For multi-step tests, you can select which step to view.
- **Activity Timeline**: a simple timeline spanning the range of the Test run with color-coded bars indicating the number of simultaneous   file transfers happening at each instant.
- **Gantt Chart**: a filterable timeline depicting all activity within   a given timeframe using color-coded horizontal bars.

## Analysis Workflow
Open the desired record using one of the procedures detailed above in the **Accessing Records** section.
Once the page has drawn a waterfall chart, you can search, filter, or customize the chart using the various options on the toolbar above the Details table.
- To change the columns displayed in the Waterfall table, click the **Columns** button and then check the boxes next to the desired columns and click **Apply**.
- To search for a specific host or file, enter a value in the **Search** field and press **Enter**.
- To filter the table to display a single type of element, click one of the **Filter Type** options.
    - Use the **Requests** drop-down to filter by request type or status
    - Use the **Zones** drop-down to filter by zones
- To download the Record, click the **Download** button, then select the desired file format. The record is downloaded with a file name containing the date and time interval used to generate the chart. Header details are included along with a row for each element, and columns describing the file and each step of the communication involved in loading the webpage.
