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).

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. Click Enable Event List interactions in the toolbar to filter the list on the selected control panel or system component. See Working with Site Viewer for more information.
