Customizing the Events Window

Rearranging Columns

Hiding and Showing a Pane

The Events window (accessed from Data Explorer, User Explorer, or from a Quick View chart) shows a wealth of information about activities. To clarify the information, you can rearrange and hide columns of data. This affects only your Dashboard view, not the data, and not other Dashboard users. Hidden columns and panes remain hidden until you "show" them again.

Another way to customize the view of data is by Changing the Data Grouping.

Rearranging Columns

You can drag and drop any column on the Events window into a different location within the same pane. For example, if you want to see the User instead of Recorded Time as the first field in the Events grid, you could drag User to the left-most position in the grid.

To rearrange columns:

  1. Click on a column header in the Summary pane or Events grid.

  2. Hold down the mouse button and drag the header left or right within the pane.

  3. Drop the column header at a new location.

Note: Your rearranged columns will not "stick." When you close and reopen the Events window, the columns return to their original order.

Hiding and Showing Columns

Both the Summary pane and the Events grid have a Show Columns button.

To hide a column from the Details grid in the Events window:

  1. Click the Show Columns button at the top of the pane.

  2. Click to clear the column you want to hide. To hide an another column, reopen the menu and clear the check next to the column.

  3. Re-open the Show Columns menu and check a column to show it again.

Hiding and Showing Panes

The View menu at the top of the Events window allows you to hide and show entire panes on the Events window. You can also use the X button on each pane to quickly hide it.

To remove a pane from the Events window:

  1. Click the x button at the top of the pane, next to the Help ? (question mark). Or, open the View menu and click to uncheck the pane you wish to remove: Navigation Pane, Summary Pane, Events Pane, and Email Contents or Chat Contents (if applicable).  

  2. Once you remove a pane, you must use the View menu to show it again.
