Event View Manager Window
The Event View Manager window lets you add your own tabs to the Event View panel to create custom tables that provide the information needed to manage your network. With it, you can add tables and modify existing tables to capture and combine alarm, event and/or trap information from various sources. The top panel lists the current tabs, while the bottom two panels let you define sources for the information in your custom tables.
To access this window, click the Event View Manager button in the lower-right corner of the Event View. (If you are using Console, you can also go to the Tools menu and select Alarm/Event > Event View Manager.)
