Selecting and deselecting events

To work with one or more events in the event list, you must first select the events. You can then use the options in the Alerts menu to manipulate the events. You can also deselect one or more events from a list of selected events.

• To select one event and deselect all other events, click the event row.
• To select multiple, nonsequential events, hold down the Ctrl key and click each event.
• To select multiple, sequential events on UNIX, click to select the first event, hold down the mouse button, and drag the cursor up or down the list. To select multiple, sequential events on Windows, hold down the Shift key and then click to select the first event. Then hold down the mouse button and drag the cursor up or down the list.
• To select all events, click Edit > Select All.
• To select all events that match the value in a particular field (also known as smart matching) on UNIX, hold down the Shift key and click the left mouse button over the field to be matched. To select all events that match the value in a particular field on Windows, hold down Ctrl+Alt and click the left mouse button over the field to be matched. For example, to select all events in the UNIX event list, where the Status field is closed, find an event that displays the Status field as closed. Move the cursor over that field, hold down the Shift key and click the left mouse button over the field.
