The Event log module stores information about all events that occur in the system. A log of these events can then be displayed and inspected. It is useful in case that some unwanted behavior occurs in the system and you want to find out where the problem originates or some other details about it.
In the top row, you can select from the following options:
Select site |
Using this drop-down list, you can select what events will be displayed. You can either select a particular website to display only event that occurred on the website, or you have the following extra options:
•(all) - displays all events that occurred in the whole system. •(only global events) - displays only global, i.e. not website specific events.
This option is only available in Site Manager. In CMS Desk, only events related to the current website are displayed in the log. |
Clear log |
Deletes all records currently displayed in the log. |
The filter above the list enables you to display only records that match specified criteria. The Display advanced filter and Display simplified filter links switch the filter between simple and advanced mode, while the advanced one offers more filtering criteria to be specified. After clicking the 
icon in the header of the Actions column, a context menu is displayed, offering options for export of listed data to various types of files.
The following details are displayed with each logged event. Some extra information is logged but not displayed in the grid. It can be viewed after clicking the Display event (
) icon, which displays a pop-up window with full details about the event. More information can be found here.
