Click on the Submit button once your selections are made. The Live EMS Events Monitor Window will be
displayed based on your defined settings. These settings are also recorded in an xml file on your PC. This xml
file is read and applied again the next time you open an Event Live Setting Window. So the next time you go
into Events-Live there’s no need to browse through the tabs. Just press Submit, and the events will be
displayed according to the last saved settings. When the button ‘Save to file’ is clicked upon, the current
settings are saved to a temporary file. This setting is then displayed when the user comes back to the event
settings screen. The file saved is valid only for that particular browser session.
Click on the reset button resets the settings to what it was initially before the changes were made.
