    Hi Massimo. Navigate to C:\Board\Dataset\Log and you will find files like this - HBMP_Standard_BI_Demo_201802.txt, where 'Standard_BI_Demo is my Database and 201802 is the month and year. HBMP always appears at the beginning. This file, when opened in Excel looks like this:

    So, in this file you can isolate the data reader executions and load this into a BOARD capsule screen using another Data Reader, with a little bit of ETL to capture just the rows you need.  Does this help you?

    Apologies - I missed column A from my screenshot above.  So, in this case I am interested in those Action Codes marked 'FR'.  I don't have a glossary of all Action Codes, but maybe somebody else here can provide this.
