Event Search: Overview

The event search feature enables users to explore past occurrences and examine the event history associated with them.

This functionality is helpful during investigations that demand a thorough assessment of event responses, as well as serving as a training aid for duplicating comparable processes, or for extracting specific details for reporting purposes.
