Select the Current tab to show unacknowledged (current) events. These events have a colored box at the left side of the log entry. The color of map objects is determined by the highest priority unacknowledged event for that object.

Select the History tab to show all events, including acknowledged and unacknowledged events.

Select one of the Custom tabs and use the right-click Filter View menu to specify which events should be displayed for that tab.

Double-click an event entry to display a Map View window with the corresponding device icon visible.

To quickly view events for a particular device, first select the device and then use one of the View Events buttons (or the View/Active Events and View/History Events menus). This will show the device events in a separate window in the View Windows area.
