IDM Events
The IDM Events tab works similarly to the PCM Events tab. It lists the IDM events
currently contained in the database. The default listing event is categorized by the
level of severity.
Sortable columns of information are available for each event:
You can sort the Events listing by Source, Severity, Status or Date. Click the desired
column heading to sort in descending order. Click the column heading again to sort
in ascending order. A down pointer in the column heading indicates descending order,
and an up pointer indicates ascending order.
The Event Log is trimmed at the level specified in the IDM Preferences window. By
default there will be 1000 events in the event log.
