Specifying the Attributes to Display in Event Attribute Lists

The event list contains an Attribute Selector that allows you to specify which attributes to display in the event attribute list.

1. Choose Select Attributes from the event list View menu. The following dialog is displayed:

   

   Note: The specific attributes that are listed in the Attribute Selector is customizable by the system administrator. Therefore, you may see different attributes than are shown in the example above. You can view a description of an attribute on the Attribute Selector by hovering the mouse pointer over the attribute name.

   This dialog is used to specify which attributes to display in the attribute list.

   • Attributes listed in the Available Attributes list on the left are available, but have not been designated to display in the event attribute list. The attributes listed in the Available Attributes section are categorized by the components that write the value to the attribute. Notice that if all of a particular component’s attributes are moved to the Selected Attributes section on the right, the component name is still shown in the Available Attributes section, with “empty” shown below the component name (as is the case for Business Resource Manager, Directory Engine, and Event Collector in the example above).
   • Attributes listed in the Selected Attributes list on the right are the attributes that will be displayed in the event attribute list. Note, however, that all of the attributes listed are not applicable to all event types. The attributes in the Selected Attributes list are shown in the event attribute list only if they are applicable to the type of event selected in the event list.
2. Select the desired attributes, using the following actions:
   • Individual attributes can be selected by clicking the desired name.
   • Multiple attributes can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the desired names.
   • A group of attributes can be selected by clicking one name, then holding down the Shift key and clicking the last name in the desired group.
3. Move attributes to the desired list in the Attribute Selector:
   • Attributes can be moved back and forth between lists by selecting the desired attribute(s), then clicking the “” or “<“ buttons.
   • An individual attribute can be moved from one list to the other by double-clicking the attribute name.
   • Attributes can also be moved from one list to the other by using a “drag and drop” method — click the desired attribute name (or group of selected attribute names), and while holding the mouse button, drag them to the desired list and release the mouse button.
   • All attributes can be moved from one list to the other by clicking the “ > ” or “<<“ buttons.

     You can also change the attributes to the system defaults by clicking the Use Default button.

4. Click OK when the list on the right contains the attributes you would like displayed in the attribute list.
