Finding Events

    A filter controller is added beneath the filter. To hide the filter controller, click "Hide Filter Details".

  2. On the right hand side click on a filter type to add.
    Each time a different filter is added, an additional selection area will appear in the filter area. You can add as many filters you like. Each time a filter is selected, a new selection area is added.

  3. To delete a specific filter option, click the delete button (X).

  4. Set your preferences according to the filter type. For example, set a date range for the Date filter.

  5. When you have finished configuring the filter, click "Save Filter As..." to name the filter and save it for future use.

  6. Click "Apply Filter" to re-display events according to the filter parameters.
    If you do not want to save the filter directly, click "Apply Filter" without saving.
    Only events matching the filter are displayed.

Use "Delete Saved filter" to remove the filter. Filter information is saved until the next login: You can safely navigate to other pages and tabs without losing your filter settings.

The possible statuses are:
