Filtering the Event Browser<br />
Filtering the Event Browser enables you to display only those events that are of<br />
interest based on the event severity, timestamp, source, type, and description. To<br />
filter the Event Browser, open the Filter menu and select Filter Entries. This<br />
command opens the Filter Events dialog shown in Figure 6. The Event Browser<br />
displays those events that meet all of the criteria in the Filter Events dialog. If the<br />
filtering criteria is cleared or changed, then all the events that were previously<br />
hidden that satisfy the new criteria will be shown.<br />
You can filter the event browser in the following ways:<br />
• Severity—select one or more of the corresponding options to display alarm<br />
events, critical events, warning events, or informative events.<br />
• Date/Time—select one or both of the From: and To: options. Enter the bounding<br />
timestamps (MM/DD/YY HH:MM AA) to display only those events that fall<br />
within those times. ("AA" indicates AM or PM.) The current year (YY) can be<br />
entered as either two or four digits. For example, 12/12/11 will be interpreted<br />
December 12, 201<strong>1.</strong><br />
• Text—select one or more of the corresponding options and enter a text string<br />
(case sensitive) for event source, type, and description. The Event Browser<br />
displays only those events that satisfy all of the search specifications for the<br />
Source, Type, and Description text.<br />

Sorting the Event Browser<br />
Sorting the Event Browser enables you to display the events in alphanumeric order<br />
based on the event severity, timestamp, source, type, or description. Initially, the<br />
Event Browser is sorted in ascending order by timestamp. To sort the Event<br />
Browser, click the Severity, Timestamp, Source, Type, or Description column<br />
buttons. You can also open the Sort menu and select By Severity, By Timestamp, By<br />
Source, By Type, or By Description. Successive sort operations of the same type<br />
alternate between ascending and descending order.<br />
