Creating table views

Use table views to configure the event details that you want to see on the Events page. You can configure the page to show more or less details about all events. You can add or remove columns according to the level of details that you want to see.

As an administrator, you can create global table views, which become available for all users in the system.

As an operator, you can create table views that only you can use.

  • A non-administrator user can create User-Defined Table views. This table view is available only for that specific user.
