Comments tab

The Comments tab displays comments that have been applied to specific events.

Filters

An easy-to-use filtering mechanism is provided that allows you to focus on the information that you are interested in. Click the plus icon to expand the Filters widget.

Note:

The use of filters is optional.

You can filter the comments by selecting an item to Filter by from the pull-down menu. Select from Author, Event ID, or Tags.

You can combine multiple filters to narrow the focus. You can also deploy multiple instances of some filters.

Delete an individual filter by clicking the Remove minus button next to its entry. Delete all the selected filters by clicking the cancel/close icon. This also collapses the Filters widget.

Click Apply reload to apply the selected filters.
