Selection Tool
If you do not see the selection tool, use the View/Selection Tool menu to show it. Use the Selection
Tool to manipulate objects from one of several databases. Use the drag control at the right of the
Selection Tool to change its size. Select one of the Selection Tool tabs to display a tree control for
the database. Use the right-click menu inside a selection tree for database-specific commands.
Event Log Tool
The Event Log Tool displays different filtered views of the ProSafe NMS event log. If you do not
see the Event Log Tool, use the View/Event Log Tool menu to show it.
• Select the Current tab to show unacknowledged (current) events. These events have a colored
box at the left side of the log entry. The color of map objects is determined by the highest
priority unacknowledged event for that object.
• Select the History tab to show all events, including acknowledged and unacknowledged
events.
• Select one of the Custom tabs and use the right-click Filter View menu to specify which events
should be displayed for that tab.
• Double-click an event entry to display a Map View window with the corresponding device
icon visible.
• To quickly view events for a particular device, first select the device and then use one of the
View Events buttons (or the View/Active Events and View/History Events menus). This will
show the device events in a separate window in the View Windows area.
