Filtering an Event List
Filtering a list of events involves entering filter criteria so that only some of the events are shown in the list, rather than all of them. Filtering a list of events allows you to display only the events you are interested in.
For example, you may only be interested in events that occurred between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. on Jan. 4, 2010, or you may only be interested in seeing certain types of events. You can filter the list so that only those events are shown.
The filtering function allows you to build a “filter expression” that is applied to all events in the list. If the event satisfies the filter expression (e.g., the Time Stamp is greater than 10 A.M. on Jan. 4, 2010 and less than 2 P.M. on Jan. 4, 2010), it is shown in the event list; if it does not satisfy the filter expression, it is not shown in the list.
Because filtering event lists is basically the same as filtering other types of lists in Workspace (with the exception of the specific attribute on which you can filter), details of filtering is explained in a single chapter — see Filtering Lists.
