The UI is split into two separate sections:

In this section, you can see a list of all worker threads currently running in the system. The Run testing thread button can be used to launch a testing thread in order to verify that threads debugging works correctly.

View View - displays a pop-up window showing the current content of the thread log (in case that there is a log), as described below.

By adding the following key into the appSettings section of your web.config file, you can limit the number of threads displayed in the list. If the key is not used, 20 threads are displayed by default.
