Event Descriptions

Each event has two descriptions defined: a detailed description and a summarized description. For example, for the “Started Instance” event:

Summarized Description

The dailog shows an example of summarized descritption. It gives the time and a description of the event.

Detailed Description

The dailog shows an example of detailed descritption. It gives the time and a description of the event. The event includes extra detail like GUIDs, for example.

The detailed descriptions provide more information, but you may find that the summarized descriptions make it easier to scan the event list.

You can switch between the two descriptions by selecting Event Descriptions from the event list View menu.

The descriptions for events are also customizable by an administrator, therefore, you may see different descriptions than those shown in the documentation.
