Events

Items in Advanced Search can be grouped by Events or Tags. In this screen we have grouped items by Events.


Filter by Media Item

The media filter allows you select whether you want to see events for all media items for just a for a specific one.


Filtering by Comments

The comment filter lets you filter events based on comments. You can choose to see events commented on by a specific author, events with comments or events without comments.


Without Comments Example

In this example I have selected to view all events without comments. This can be useful if I want to make sure that I have added comments to every event.


Sorting Events

Events can be sorted alphabetically or chronologically. Select the desired option from the dropdown.


Flagged Items

Check the flag box to only see events that have been flagged.


Search

Enter text in the search box to quickly search for information. Tag titles, event titles and comments will be searched.


Clear Search

You can clear the search field by clicking on the "x" icon to the right.


Group by Tags

This screen shows an example of events grouped by tags. Each tag is displayed in alphabetical order with the number of events that are associated with that tag.


Show Details

This is an example of the Review list with Details checked. When Details is checked full comments will be displayed as well as the start/end times and duration.
