comment/resolution screen will be
available). For details, refer to the
configuration topic: "Customizing How
Events are Displayed".
Limiting the Window to
Show Only Specific
Messages (Sorting and Filtering)
Operators with "Event Filter"
permission can set the monitoring
window to show:
 All event messages for an account;
 Only 'unresolved' events;
 Events of a specific priority range;
 Events pertaining to a specific door,
area, person, etc.
Tip: These selections are saved separately
for each operator.
Exception
: Scheduled Event Filters can be
set up and assigned to operators--to
determine the types of messages each
operator will be able to see during vs.
outside of set times.
Tip
: A clock symbol on the [ Filter ] button
at the bottom of the monitoring window indicates that
scheduled event filtering is presently in effect (for the
current operator).

You can also set the 'sort-order' for messages.
To determine the present sort-order, and
whether or not the list is limited to specific
events, look for references in the title-bar of
the monitoring window.
To set the window to show only specific types
of messages, click [Filter] at the bottom, and
make your selections from the pop-up window.
Tip: You can select [Clear] to remove your present
'filters', and return to showing all messages for the
present account.
- Sort Order By: This allows listing messages in
order by date/time only, or showing 'unresolved'
(and higher priority) events first.
- Filter on Resolution: This lets you have the list
include events depending on whether or not
they have been 'resolved' (i.e., dealt-with).
All: This shows all events--including ones not
associated with the comment/resolution feature (i.e.,
not set as 'resolvable').
- Filter on Priority: This allows limiting the
window to show only events of a desired priority
value (or range).
- Filter on Custom Filter: This allows limiting the
window to show only events of a desired
'custom-filter' value (or range).
Also See: To assign priorities, 'Custom Filter' values,
and other parameters, refer to the configuration topic:
"Customizing How Events are Displayed".
- [Clear]: Removes all filters--i.e., returns to the
factory settings (and closes the 'filter' window).
-
[Return to Scheduled Filter]: For an
operator who's selections have temporarily
overridden scheduled event filtering (requires
"Events Filter" permission), selecting this will
return to the scheduled settings.
