Run Browser Summary and Overview

This information is specific to the latest release of PARCview:

7.2.x

Run Browser is a tool that allows users to view data over defined time periods (“runs”). The user supplies the run criteria, then Run Browser searches for the periods of time that fit that criteria. Most PARCview displays use Run Browser to display run-based data. Run browser is able to filter out data and can include user defined equations for showing or filtering data. Run browsers specific functionality changes depending on the display it is being used for.

PARCSecurity Permissions

The only required permissions from PARCsecurity Console that covers Run Browser is the ability to open PARCview. If you can open PARCView and trend tags, you will be able to use the Run Browser.
