1 Overview
The Event filter box allows you to change the events that are being viewed. When the event criteria is changed most of the time this will either make visible or hide events that have been downloaded to your web browser. THe exception to this is when the date range or status of open or closed is changed. When these are changed a new event set is requested from Veloopti. Up to 10,000 events can be downloaded to your browser. If you desire to see more than this number of events you should use the download button in the global options and open them in your favorite spreadsheet application.

Hiding or revealing the filter panel is performed by using the filter slider that appears just above the dashboard filter to the left. To hide move the filter slider
