The Messages page has the following options:

  • Each column, except Type, maps to a column heading in the Message Window.
  • The first row (Error Warning in the LogFlag column) is not editable and cannot be deleted, although you can clear the Show check box.
  • Data rows perform an AND operation (filter for messages that meet both criteria).
  • Data columns perform an OR operation (filter for messages that meet either criteria).
  • Use both AND and OR operations (multiple categories on multiple rows) to set complex filters.
  • New Filter icon: Use to add a new row of filter criteria. After setting filtering criteria, the check box is automatically enabled for that row.
  • Delete Filter icon: Use to remove a highlighted row of filter criteria.
  • Delete All: Use this button to clear all filter criteria from this page.
