Tagging an event

On a large trace, you may want to attach a descriptive, bookmark-type tag to any event that you need to find again quickly (for example, an event immediately preceding a crash event).

To tag an event, follow these steps:

  1. Select the event by with the left mouse button. The event is highlighted green (by default).
  2. Click the right mouse button. From the pop-up menu, select Tag event. A dialog box opens.
  3. Enter a descriptive name to identify the event, then click OK. A circle (red, by default) is added to the tagged event.

To find a tagged event, follow these steps:

  1. Select Edit > Locate event tag. A dialog box opens and lists all tagged events.
  2. Select the tag name of the event you want to find, then click OK. The viewer scrolls to the tagged event.

To delete a tag, follow these steps:

  1. Select Edit > Delete event tag. A dialog box opens and lists all tagged events.
  2. Select the tag name, or names, that you want to delete, then click OK.
