Specifying the Columns to Display in Event Lists

The columns that display by default in event lists represent the attributes that are common to all event types. However, you can customize event lists to display the desired columns.

To do this, click the button on the event list toolbar, or choose Select Columns from the event list View menu. The Column Selector dialog is displayed.

The Column Selector lists the available columns/attributes in a tree structure categorized by the components that write values to the attributes. You can expand or collapse the list below each component name, as needed, by clicking the + or - icon to the left of the component name.

Use the Column Selector to choose which columns to display among the available columns. Note that when you customize columns for an event list, it applies only to that particular event list, not to any of the others. Customized columns for an event list are persisted, however, i.e., they will stay customized for that specific event list until you change them again with the Column Selector, or manually. Also, note that persisted settings are saved on the server, so if you log onto a different machine, those settings will be in effect on that machine also.

As mentioned above, the default out-of-the-box columns in the event list are those that are common to all event types. However, you can specify a new default by clicking the button on the event list toolbar, or by selecting Set as Default Columns from the event list View menu. For more information, see The Column Default.
