# Event Filtering

## Overview

**Event Filtering** enables the searching of events that match specific criteria. Filters are cumulative, meaning they eliminate any event that does not match all of the specified criteria.

## Why Use Event Filtering?

**Event Filtering** allows for the narrowing of events to only those that are relevant. It enables you to locate specific events that meet a set of criteria. Without any filters enabled, [Event Monitoring](/product/docs/event-monitoring#events-view) displays every event in chronological order.

## Filter Templates

**Filter Templates** enable the saving of the selected [Filter Options](/product/docs/filtering#filter-options), [Column Selection](/product/docs/column-selector#overview), and refresh settings. This allows the creation of multiple filters for different purposes.

## Filter Options

For an event to be matched, it must meet the criteria specified by every filter option. If a filter option is not selected, then it does not affect the results.

| --- | --- | --- |
| `Priority` | Info, Low, Medium, High, Critical, Safety | Finds events whose priority matches one of the selected priorities |
| `Status` | Unacknowledged and Acknowledged | Finds events whose status matches the selected status |
| `Event Type` | Warning, Alarm, and Status | Finds events whose type matches one of the selected types |
| `Event Status` | Active and Closed | Finds events whose status matches the selected status |
| `Event Source` | SCADA, Substation, Performance, Communication, System, Manual, Condition Monitoring, Notifications, and Planned | Finds events whose source matches one of the selected sources |
| `Label Search` | Text Field | Finds events that have at least one label whose text partially matches the label search text |
| `Includes` | Comments, Documents, Tasks, Allocations, and Cases | Finds events that have at least one item for every include category selected |
