Event List

The Events List gives you quick access to all Events, pending and historical. Each row in the list represents an event, showing the type and camera identifier, and is sorted according to date with the newest at the top. Status indicators show whether an Event is private (visible to the current user only) and if an Event is in edit mode.

List Layout and Buttons

The following points stand out:

Pending Events: You will not see Private events that are assigned to someone else.

Refresh: Some filters could include dynamic items (e.g. events of the past hour) in which case you would need to refresh the list from time-to-time.

Event Detail: An Event’s Detail will be displayed if you select a camera item in the Events List. See Event Detail, below, for detail.

Dock List: This function allows the Events List to be duplicated in any viewer. After clicking it, the available Viewer windows will be highlighted with the corresponding shortcut key that may be pressed to dock the list in the designated viewer.

New Video Event: Creates a new Video Event and adds a 20 second clip from the Active Video to the list of Event Instances.

Filtering the Events List

You may filter the events list as per usual (See Filtering). There is a built-in filter which shows only the pending (open) events — those which still need to be completely defined. Filtering events is extremely powerful: think of how useful it is to be able to create a list of specific events for a particular time period for specific cameras — without having to do any searching of your own.

Event Status Indicators

The following status icons may be displayed for an event in the Events Lists:

Private Event: This event is private, meaning it is only visible to you (who created it). Events that does not display this icon are public events and visible to all users.

Edit mode: The event is in edit mode and may be modified. All cameras dropped on the Events tab will be added to this event. This is a toggle button, so press it again to leave edit mode.
