times, as follows:

 

Today Only: Only the events for the current day are displayed.

 

Start Date/Time: Filters for events from a specific date and time

 

to the present. Put a check in the checkbox to bring up a calendar.

events from the Start date/time to the present are displayed.

 

For the Web Browser interface, after checking Start Date/Time,

 

you have to click inside the text box in order to bring up the

 

calendar. When you have made your calendar choices, click the A

 

icon at the lower right of the calendar panel.

a specific date and time. First select the Start Date/Time

Filters for a particular word or string. Key the word or string into

 

the Information text box. Only events containing that word or
