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.

In the Event Management:<server name> page, you can see the PDM events for the named server listed in the Events table. The Events table supports table views, table display options (to view selected objects only), and sorting; and has a Search in table field that lets you enter a string for the system to find in the table listing.
You can access detailed information about a particular event by clicking the information icon
in the event's row. You can access the
Conflict Management page by clicking icons displayed in the Actions column for viewing or resolving conflicts. See
