Using the Event Log
The event log lists the loss events for the work center, either for the current production block or the past 24 hours, depending on whether you are viewing the collapsed event log view or the expanded event log view.
In either event log view, events with alerts are indicated with an alert icon (
). An alert on an event means that the reason selected for the event is not at the lowest level of the reason tree. Until the alert is addressed, your data will not be complete for the Pareto and trend charts in Performance Analysis. To clear an alert, edit the loss event and select a loss reason that is at the lowest level of the reason tree.

Automated events in the event log are indicated with an asterisk ( * ) after their duration when they have completed. These are events that are entered using data automation rather than being manually entered through the Production Dashboard. They have a start time and continue until a new event starts. Events shown in the event log with no duration are automated events that have not yet completed. The duration displays once the automated event is complete. Automated events that are not complete cannot be edited.
Collapsed Event Log View
The collapsed view of the event log displays in the Event Log pane on the Production Dashboard. This view shows the most recent events for the current production block by default. For each event, a visual indicator for the selected loss category, the selected loss reason, any comment, and the impact (duration or quantity) is displayed. If a reason category is selected, or no loss reason is selected for the event, the loss reason is blank. If you have selected a parent or child loss reason, the loss reason is displayed. If the reason selected for the event is not at the lowest level of the reason tree, an alert icon () is displayed in the Comments column.
) is displayed in the Comments column.
There are multiple filters available for the Event Log pane:
• Most Recent—Displays the most recent events at the top of the list. This is the default view.
• Alerts First—Displays events with alerts at the top of the list.
• Alerts Only—Displays only events with alerts.
To view events for the work center outside of the current production block, click Expand Log.
Expanded Event Log View
The expanded view of the event log displays all loss events for the work center for the past 24 hours, or all scrap loss events from the past week, depending on your filter settings. Loss events older than the past 24 hours and scrap loss events older than a week can no longer be viewed in the expanded event log.
For each event, the following information is displayed:
