The Build History Window

The Build History window lists previously run builds and allows you to view the Build Monitor contents (with build output text and distributed build progress) for these builds. This feature is especially useful for monitoring batch build results. The window can be opened from the IncrediBuild tray icon menu or the IncrediBuild start menu.

The Main Display

The main Build History display shows a list of the previous builds, with the following (sortable) columns shown for each build:

Build Success - A colored circle indicating the success of the operation - white for no errors and no warnings, yellow for warnings and red for failure.
Solution / Workspace - The name of the solution or workspace that was built.
Start Time - The date and hour in which the build was started.
Duration - The duration of the build.
Messages - The total number of compiler or tool warnings and errors received throughout the build.
System Messages - The total number of IncrediBuild system messages (warnings and errors) received during the build.
User - The user and computer that started this build (this column is not displayed by default).
IncrediBuild Version - The IncrediBuild version and build number used to run this build (this column is not displayed by default).
Auto Recovery - The total number of events that IncrediBuild encountered and automatically recovered from during the build (this column is not displayed by default).

Project Type - The MSVC version used to build this project.
Logging Level - The logging level used when building this project.

Double-clicking any of the builds in the list will open up a Build Monitor window showing the contents of that build.
