Status bar

The status row is on the lower border of the event table. It gives information about the event queries carried out (e.g. status of the running query, number of the events, error messages) and if a filter is currently active.

Sorting

The event table can be sorted ascending or descending in every column. Click on the header of the column which you want to use as sorting criterion. The displayed downwards pointing arrow symbolizes the descending sorting order. The arrow pointing upwards symbolizes the ascending sorting order.

In an event table, the "Time" column in descending order is selected as default setting. Hence, the most recent event is always on top.

Acknowledgment

Every single event can be acknowledged via the control box in the "Ack" column. Clicking on the buttonwill acknowledge all of the events displayed at once.

Filter line

The upper row in the event table is for filtering the table. In all columns except for Trigger and Priority you filter according to the entered string. It is not possible to use placeholders. In the Time column, filtering is possible with the operators <, >, <= and >=. Select a search operation using the <ABC> or <=> button. Then enter the search term or a value.

In the Trigger column, the following filter allocations are possible:

No filtering active.

Only incoming events are displayed.

Only outgoing events are displayed.

In the Ack column, the following filter allocations are possible:

No filtering active.

Only not acknowledged events are displayed.
