Changing the Event Viewer display

Setting expand and collapse behavior

Depending on the situation or your own personal preference, you may want to change the display of the Event Viewer. For example, you can expand or collapse all groupings, or have the Event Viewer automatically expand every grouping each time the list is filtered or sorted.

To change the Event Viewer display:

  1. Right-click one of the group headings in the Event Viewer.

    A shortcut menu appears.

  2. Select one of the following options:

    • Auto Expand to automatically expand every grouping each time the list is filtered or sorted.

    • Expand All to expand all category and type groupings.

    • Collapse All to collapse all category and type groupings.

Sorting the Event list

By default, the Event Viewer displays the Filtered tab where all the Events in your project are listed in alphabetical order. To find specific Events more quickly, you can select the Show All - Sorted filter, which sorts Events by Event Action. This means that all the Play Actions are grouped together, all the Stop Actions are grouped together, and so on.

To sort the Event list:

  1. In the Event Viewer, click the Filtered tab.

    By default, all Events are listed alphabetically.

  2. Click the Filter button to display the filter and sorting options.

  3. Click the Show All - Sorted option.

    All the Events in your project are sorted by Action category and then Action type.

Filtering the list by Action type

You can filter the Event list by Action type. For example, you can filter the list to show only the Stop All Actions, or only the Mute Actions.

To filter the Event list by Action type:

  1. In the Event Viewer, click the Filtered tab.

    By default, all Events are listed alphabetically.

  2. Click the Filter button to display the filter and sorting options.

  3. Select an action category and then click an Action type from the list.

    The Events are filtered according to the filter option you selected.

Filtering the list by current selection

You can filter the list to find specific Events that are associated with one or more objects selected in the Audio tab of the Project Explorer.

To filter the Event list by current selection:

  1. In the Audio tab of the Project Explorer, select one or more objects.

  2. In the Event Viewer, click the Current Selection tab.

    The Events associated with the selected objects are displayed in the Events list.

[Note]Note

If more than one object is selected in the Audio tab of the Project Explorer, the Events are sorted by object.

Filtering the list by orphaned Events

You can filter the list to find orphaned Events, which are Events that contain Actions that are not associated with any object. The title of the Orphans tab contains a number in brackets that specifies the total number of orphaned Events in your project.

To filter the Event list by orphaned Events:

  1. In the Event Viewer, click the Orphans tab.

    The orphaned Events are displayed in the Events list.
