If you need to be aware immediately that, for example, a particular document has been edited or uploaded, the event view is the most convenient and cost effective tool to get that information as quickly as possible, and to access that document.

The preferences menu lets you focus the event view on reporting only selected types of events by using the filter options. The narrower the focus of reporting, the greater the benefits of being alerted. You may also choose to be alerted by an auditory signal.

• open the user info page of the user which originated the event
• open the folder that contains the affected object
• open the document info page of the affected object
• remove the event from the list
• clear the event list
