How to make the job history of SQL server agent more readable?

Question

I want to see the the job history in a neat format. Currently, I just export it to a log file in which everything appears as a big line of text, without any formatting. How do i get it in a more readable form ?

Thanks.

Here are 2 software options:

1. SQL Job Manager - Looks more "professional"
2. SQLjobvis

If you can't (or don't want to) use a free or opensource software, then your other options are to write queries and scripts yourself.
