You cannot move, resize, or remove the Event button column.
Cause
Description of the event followed by the condition (either numeric value or
descriptive text) that caused the event. For example, Temperature too high
(39°C), Fault (INACTIVE), and so on. This description changes when the
event source passes from the Active to the Quiet state.
Path

expressed using names or descriptions, depending on the Display mode as well as
the view selected in the System Browser drop-down list.
For BACnet Event Enrollment (EE) events, it displays the [name of the field
networks] + [name of the network] the EE event belongs.
The following optional columns may also be available, for indicating the object’s
path in other ways:
● Location. Concatenation of descriptions relating to the event source. (It follows
the view selected in System Browser.)
● Designation. Concatenation of names relating to the event source. (It follows
the view selected in System Browser.)

Browser view as follows:
– Path [Management View]

Depending on the System Browser views that are configured, multiple such
columns may be available. How the path is expressed depends on the Display
mode.
