Two types of events can appear in the Action Items Event Log—those you create (activities) and those Sage 50 creates for you (system events). You can access both types of events in the Event Log provided you have selected them to be displayed there.

From the Tasks window, select Action Items. Sage 50 displays the Action Items window.
Select the Events tab (if it is not already displayed). Sage 50 first displays events you created followed by Sage 50's system generated events.
To display detail information about the event, double-click the event listed. Sage 50 displays the Create Event window. (Another method is to select the event listed, then click the Detail button.)

Note: You can edit the note or comment and how the event is displayed. However, you cannot change other aspects about the event. If this needs to be done, you must delete the current event and create another event.

If you modified the event, select Save. Then, select Close to return to the Action Items window.
To specify the types of events that are listed in the Event Log, select the Filter button. You can select or clear these filter items at any time.
To remove the event from the Event Log, select the Delete button.
To repeat the event a specified number of times, select the Recur button.
If the activity or system event is completed or acknowledged, select the completed check box to the left of the event.
When you are finished examining the Event Log, select Close.
