Event Views

Events are actions that have taken place, for example, logging in, opening a work item, submitting a work item, suspending a process instance, and so on. The Event Views gadget lists the events so that you can see what has occurred with a particular work item or process instance.

The Event Views gadget uses event views to enable you to display a subset of all the available events. Openspace provides some pre-defined event views and you can also create your own, see Creating Event Views Overview.

Once you have selected/created an event view, the event list that contains the events in the currently selected event view is displayed. An event list is sometimes referred to as an audit trail because it allows you to audit the trail of actions that have taken place for a particular entity.

You can also filter and sort the list of events, see Filtering and Event Lists and Sorting and Event Lists.

Some events provide links to related lists of events. For example, from a list of events for a work item, you can link to a list of events for the process instance to which the work item is related, or to a list of events pertaining to the user who allocated the work item. For information about using these links, see Saving an Event View Created Through Event Links.

To view events, the Event Views gadget must be added to a tab. You may have logged into Openspace using a persona that automatically adds the Event Views gadget to a tab (for example, the Default persona automatically adds Event Views to the Events tab), otherwise you must manually add the Event Views gadget to a tab, see Adding Gadgets to a Tab.
