864 +
865 +The size of the journal window can be adjusted by dragging the lower right corner while holding down the left mouse button.
866 +
867 +To recognize the type of event and its severity level, each line of the operative journal has an icon characterizing the event in the beginning. These icons can be modified or supplemented during system setup.
868 +
869 +When selecting the **All events** tab in the left area of the **Operative events journal,** the last 100 events formed by the system are displayed on the right side of the journal.
870 +
871 +There are two types of events in CENTO software: single and with return. The with return events allow displaying events in the active state in a separate tab (for example, //ground in a network with an isolated neutral, Opening an emergency exit door//). An event reporting the triggering of this important state is given the status //Active//. An event that signals the end of an important state removes the// Active// status from the first event.
872 +
873 +These two events are with return: the second event closes the first one.
874 +
875 +The remaining events (regardless of their importance) are classified as single events.
876 +
877 +The tab [[image:Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 22.31.11.png||height="27" width="71"]] of the **Operative events journal **shows active events on the right side of the window. Both events (active and closing) are displayed in the log of all events independently of one another.
878 +
879 +The events can be communicated to the user (by sound and pop-up alerts) on the diagrams. Depending on the settings, the alerts can last for a specified time or until the user reacts to them. The last ones are called acknowledgeable.
880 +
881 +The number of unacknowledged events is displayed on the operative events journal icon of the main menu: [[image:Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 22.31.47.png||height="29" width="34"]]

883 +Acknowledged events are displayed in a general list in the log of all events. To see all unacknowledged events separately, go to the **Operative events journal.**
