Accessing the event table views from the TrueSight console

Event Table Views are the grid configuration preferences for the Events view on the TrueSight console. Use the Manage Events Table Views page to customize the information that is displayed in the events table view. You can create, edit, or delete the table view. 

You can associate multiple table views to your Events table: 

• Using the Event group
• Using the Custom filter
• Using the Change Table View  icon on toolbar

To understand which table view takes a display precedence in a particular scenario, see Understanding display precedence for event table view.

When there is no table view associated, the events are displayed with the columns of the Basic Information table view, which is a default view.

1. Log on to the TrueSight console and select Monitoring > Events. The Events page is displayed.
