The events table provides a dynamically updating, tabular view of events that meet specified criteria. Upon creation, the table shows the events from the Events pane, based on the criteria in the Edit Search Criteria menu. After you create an events table, you can change the events inside the table by changing the criteria in the Search Criteria pane. You can sort events in the table, and the sorting options on the events table are saved with the display.
-
In the Events pane, click Create Events Table
to create an events table on the display.
The table shows all the events listed in the Events pane. If the pane does not contain events, the events table will be blank.
Note: To automatically fit the contents of a column, double-click the border to the right of the column heading.
-
To sort the data in the table, click a column header.
The sort order is indicated by an arrow. To reverse the sort order, click the header again. To remove the sort, click the header a third time.
-
To change the order of columns, select a column header and drag it to another column inside the table.
-
To view the events of another related asset, use the asset list to switch assets (see Switch assets shown in symbols) or change the events search criteria in the Search Criteria pane (see Configure an events table).
Note: To use the asset list to switch related assets in the events table, the Asset Name criteria on the Search Criteria pane must be set to Selected Asset on Display.
-
To add and remove columns, or to change the events search criteria, right-click the table and then select Configure Table.
-
To add an event frame attribute to the table, select an event frame in the Events pane, and then drag and drop the attribute from the Attributes pane on to the table.
Note: The table shows a value for the event frame attribute for each event in the table that has an attribute with the same name. The values shown are at the time of the event, not the display time range.
-
To add an attribute from a reference element to the table, in the Events pane, select an event frame, click the arrow
for the reference element in the Attributes pane, and then drag and drop the attribute on to the table.
Note: The table shows a value for the reference element attribute for each event in the table that has an element attribute with the same name. The values shown are at the time of the event, not the display time range.
-
To add multi-state behavior to the table, right-click the table and select Add Multi-State.
-
To set the display timebar to the duration of an event, right-click the event row in the table and select Apply Time Range.
If the event is still In Progress, the end time is set to Now. See Use the timebar control.
-
To open the Event Details page that contains more information about a particular event, right-click the event row in the table and select Event Details or click on the Event Name.
-
To compare multiple related events, right-click the event row in the table and select either Compare Similar Events By Name or Compare Similar Events By Type.
