Alert Manager Log Data

Hello,

The following are inconveniences I've found using the Alert Manager.

Symbol Alert: Edit, Copy Selection: the selection skips the “Trigger Time”, “Trigger Value” and “Show Popup” columns, so the user has to insert them manually in the destination file.
More, removing the “Field” column causes the other columns to show messy.
Also, a “Select All” or “Save (the whole) Table as Log” command would be appreciated. As well as different cell background colors for different comparison types: the table would be more readable.


Logs: File, Save Log To File: the output is an impractical mix of tab, spaces and pipe separators that make it complicated to import the file in a spreadsheet. Also, the user may need to select which columns have to be included or excluded.


Any way to fix the above?

The data is tab delimited:

This is part of the attached output file:

Type  Source  Alert Text  DateTime
Symbol  VALE-NQTV  Symbol Alert: VALE-NQTV Last (13.02) Below 13.05 triggered at 11:31:55 on 2022-09-14 | Alert: AlertSound (1)  2022-09-14 13:33:40
Symbol  MO-NQTV  Symbol Alert: MO-NQTV Last (42.07) Below 43.58 triggered at 11:36:05 on 2022-09-14 | Alert: AlertSound (1) | Comment: DIV 14-09 O.I. 13k 45 16-09  2022-09-14 13:37:50

You can clearly see 3 tabs, 17 or 20 spaces and 1 or 2 pipes per each row, other than the spaces present in the user's comment(s).

It's difficult to me define that "tab delimited". And is very time-wasting to import it in a spreadsheet.

I think you should ease the user's work, basically.

Anyway, "we can't help you" is not exactly what a customer would expect.
