 When you are adding a condition filter to the Activities table, you cannot apply
the
OR operator between two filter expressions that are located on two different
columns. For example, the expression 'Log Type' = "Reports" OR 'Action' =
"Report Execution" is invalid.
 You can apply the OR operator between two filter expressions set on the same
column. For example, 'Log Type'={"Reports";"Scheduling"} is valid. To apply
the OR operator on the same column, select the column and the operator,
press
SHIFT or CTRL, depending on whether you want to select values listed
next to each other or away from each other, and then click
Add.
 You cannot apply the NOT operator in the Condition Filter for an Activities
table. For example, NOT 'Action' = "Add Camera" is invalid.
Example
Let us assume that you want to determine the number of times the present value
property of an Analog Input object has exceeded 100 in the last 24 hours. In this
case, you must configure an Activities report. In order to monitor the change of
value of any property in the activities report, you must ensure that the AL attribute
for the property is selected for the respective Analog Input object. For this you must
navigate to the
Properties expander in Object Configurator.
Steps for Configuring an Activities Report
1. Create a new report definition [➙ 262] with the Activities table inserted.
 The Activities table contains the following default set of columns — Source
Time, Object Description, Object Designation, Action, Log Type, Previous
Value, Value, Status, User Name, Management Station, Message Text,
and Attachment.
2. (Optional) Add any extra columns to the table from the Select Columns [➙ 231]
dialog box. To display this dialog box, right-click the table and select Select
Columns.
