Event List
Overview
Event List displays all detected events with each event in a separate row. This window is your main starting point for dealing with events.
Like the System Manager, the Event List is available with two layouts: a Default Layout that shows events in the main working area, and an Advanced Layout that also shows the Site Viewer on the right-hand side and the Contextual pane at the bottom of the screen.
For more details about available actions, see also Handling Events.
NOTE: The display of Event List is limited to 10000 event lines; if such limit is exceeded, the status bar of Event List will indicate the display limit and the total number of events detected (for example, 10000 of 50000).

| Name | Description |
1 | Summary bar | Contains a set of event lamps that provide an overview of the events in the system. For more information, see Overview. |

3 | Title bar | Depending on what you select, the title bar of the Event List shows:
A contextual menu becomes available when you right-click the Event List column headers, and provides you with options to customize the columns that display in Event List, and to print out the whole list of events. |

6 | Contextual pane | Available in the advanced layout, it provides additional information, actions, and resources about the selected object. In the Operation and Extended Operation you can inspect the properties of the object, and view and execute any commands/actions available for that object. If you select multiple objects, these tabs display only the properties common to all objects, and properties having different values are marked with an asterisk. |
7 | Layout selection | The layout icons allow switching between base and advanced interface. |
8 | Site Viewer | Available in the advanced layout, it provides a quick status summary of control panels and system component. It also allows for filtering Event List based on the Site Viewer selection. For more information, see Site Viewer. |

In the base layout, you can handle the events in the list. See Handling Events for more information. Click the lamps in the Summary bar to filter the list on a specific event category.
In the advanced layout, you can select an event in the list and then operate in the Contextual pane, where the full set of properties and control commands of the alarmed object are available in the Operation and Extended Operation tabs.
Also, in the Site Viewer, select a control panel or a system component to populate the Contextual pane with its properties and control commands.
