It is possible to filter the ‘class’ of events that are presented in the view by selecting/deselecting 

the options in this area (top-right of the Events screen). By default all event classes are presented, 

deselect the desired options to remove the associated events from the presentation. 

Event List 

 

The events are presented in the table area as illustrated here. Each event has an ID number which 

is effectively an ‘index’ to the event number within the ELDS unit, a Date/Time field which indicates 

the time that the event was created, a general Description field and for some events also a Detail 

field. The System column refers to the event class (as is identified by the View Options above). 

 

Some events within an ELDS unit relate to system processes and are not normally 

displayed for users. These ‘housekeeping’ events have ID numbers associated and explain 

why the ID numbers may have ‘gaps’ as is the case in this example above.
