Using the Journal Panel
The journal panel shows a simpler view of the history, with a single view, and with all the data expanded out.
The grid consists of the following columns:
- Time: (either Game time (UTC) or Time (Local), set this up using the settings page.
- Event: Icons describing the event, plus other icons for start/stop journey, Map entry colour, etc
- Description: short description of the event
- Information: more detailed information about the event
As all information is presented about an entry, no hover over or double click to expand is needed.
Each column is sortable, click on the column header to sort under that item.
Using the Time drop down selection, you can filter events by how long ago they occurred.
Using the Search text box, you can filter events by if they contain this bit of text (any Column). From 15.0 you can also use station:wildcard, stationfaction:wildcard, system:wildcard or body:wildcard to filter on on entries occurring at a specific place.
Using the Event Filter drop down, you can filter events by specific event types.
Use the Field Filter to filter out entries matching criteria. The journal view gives you a good idea of the fields you can pick. If you have the event in memory already the field entries available will be listed.
Columns automatically resize when you change the size of the EDDiscovery window. They also remember their widths over a shutdown of the program.
You can click drag down on the grid to select multiple entries at one time for right clicking.
Right click either on a previous selection or a entry and you will be presented with the following options (a more limited selection than the history grid ):
