Event Search

The event search provides a simple way of viewing what is happening in the system.

An event search generates a 'one-off' temporary report that can be printed or exported but cannot be saved.

1. Navigate to Events | Event Search.

2. Select the time period you wish to include events from.

Choose a period from the available list or enter a specific start date and time.

3. You can choose to Include All Event Types or disable this option and select specific event types.

4. If the option to Include All Event Types has been disabled, you will need to define the event types to include:

5. Click the Records tab to create up to two (optional) record filters that enable you to further restrict the results returned.

6. Click Add to open the Select Devices window:

Select the Device Type and Controller, then select the Devices from those available.
Repeat to create a second record filter if required.

7. Click Find icon (top right hand corner) to start the search.

8. A temporary report is generated and displayed in a separate window. You can adjust the list to resize or reorder the columns that are displayed:

Resize columns by hovering your mouse over the edge of the column header until it forms a double
headed arrow then dragging the column to the required size. You can also use the right click menu to automatically resize your columns for the best fit.
Reorder columns by dragging and dropping a column header to a newposition in the grid.
Remove columnsbydraggingthemdownfromthecolumnheadersectionintothe list. When a red delete icon appears over the column header, release the mouse to remove the column.

9. If more than 200 events are returned, use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate between results that span multiple pages.

10. Use the Print button to open the print preview window where you can print, export, or email the results.

11. Use the grid view to further sort, group, and filter the results that are displayed.
