Event List Configuration

Use this window to create and maintain event list configurations that hold your filter and view definitions for the monitor boxes that appear within the Event List monitor box window. You can specify how many monitor box columns to use on the Event List monitor box window, specify the filters and views to include in the configuration, and specify the order in which filters and views should appear in event list pop-up menus.

Complete this window as follows:
Name
If you are creating a new event list configuration, type a unique name for the event list configuration.
Tip: Use the spin box in the toolbar to specify the number of monitor box columns that are allowed in the Event List monitor box window.
Filters tab
Click this tab to specify which filters are part of this event list configuration. The selected filters are displayed in the list on this tab. You can use the New button to add a new filter to the event list configuration, the Open button to load an existing filter into the event list configuration, or the Edit button to edit an existing filter in the event list configuration. You can also use the Delete button to remove a filter.
Note: The order in which filters appear in the tab determines the order in which the event list pop-up menus and drop-down lists display the filter lists. You can use the Top, Up, Down, and Bottom arrow buttons to change this order.
Views tab
Click this tab to specify which views are part of this event list configuration. The selected views appear in the list on this tab.

New
To create a new filter or view, go to the toolbar and click this button to open the Filter Builder or View Builder.
Attention: While within the Filter Builder or View Builder, if you specify a filter or view name that already exists in the event list configuration, the existing filter or view is replaced.
Open
To load an existing filter or view into the event list configuration, go to the toolbar and click this button. From the resulting window, navigate to the location where the filter or view is stored, select it, and then click OK.

If you change the name of the filter or view to a name that does not exist in the event list configuration, a new filter or view is created. If you change the name to one that already exists, the new filter or view replaces the existing filter or view in the event list configuration.
