History Events Log

History events are created by HELO Plus to show what scheduled events 

were attempted and the result for each one. This is useful for creating a log of 

recordings and streaming events that have occurred and their outcomes.
Each history event displays on the calendar using the following color scheme: 

•  Blue - Scheduled (upcoming)
•  Green - Successful (completed)
•  Red - Failed (completed)
•  Yellow - Stopped by user (completed)
•  Gray - Discarded due to overlap (completed)
•  Animated oscillation between Blue and Green - Active (in progress)
•  Animated oscillation between Blue and Red - Trying (something is not 

working correctly but the unit is still attempting to perform the event)

The record of history events is maintained in a separate .ics file, called something 

like "aja-helo-plus-1HPENG031scheduler-history". If you download the history, you 

will get an .ics file with just the history events in it. History events are scheduled 

events from a local or remote calendar that HELO Plus attempted to process 

automatically. If the Scheduler has never been enabled, it will be an empty 

calendar. The file will have the ICAL header but it will contain no events. 

Download History Events

Click the 

Download History

 button to download all past events that are on the 

local calendar. The history file will be an .ics file.

Clear History Events

Click the 

Clear History

 button to clear the result of automatically attempted 

events in the past.
