System Log Functions

The System Log table provides numerous settings to allow you to navigate, view, and export results. Table columns can be customized, so that you can view full data on any event, or only the data you need. Table entries can be sorted to display in either ascending or descending order.

To sort the entries in the Event Log, click the column heading. The entries are sorted by ascending or descending order. The arrow to the right of the column name indicates the sorting status. A down arrow means ascending order. An up arrow indicates a descending order.
