Event Management Utility
The Event Management utility provides a way for you to check and act on log messages generated in your authoring application or Windchill sessions. It can be accessed in the following ways:
• By selecting the Event Management link under Quick Links at the top of a Windchill page
• From a workspace, by selecting Event Management from the workspace actions menu
• From the Windchill Workgroup Manager or Creo Parametric by clicking the console status icon in the status bar
• By selecting > in the Windchill Workgroup Manager or Creo Parametric.
In a standalone browser, the Event Management utility launches automatically in the case of a failed transaction attempt. When using the embedded browser in the Windchill Workgroup Manager or Creo Parametric, a console status icon appears in the status bar.
