■
Search Events tab : At first, the Search Events tab displays the full list of
event types that the selected policy can detect. You can reduce this list to a
more manageable size by setting search parameters. Then the Search
Results pane displays a subset of the types of events that you specified. You
can apply logging and/or blocking rules from this tab, and add new
protection policies that you define yourself.

Full Event List tab : The Full Event List displays all event types that the
selected policy can detect. Even after you define the display on the Search
