Filtering Activity

The filter form contains a number of fields to limit search:

  • Within: Time range. Choices include 1 day, 1 week, 1 month or other (given a start after/before to ended after/before).
  • Job Name: Job title name.
  • User: User initiating action.
  • Ad hoc command: Command typed into the command bar or via dispatch.
  • Result: Success or failure status.
