Message Log search options
The Message Log Search Options section includes search options such as date range or keyword, as well as filtering options to search messages by specific criteria, and the functionality to drag columns to resize them. The View from/To calendar controls are used to determine the date and time range for a search. The default value for the from and to fields is the date and time at which the log is opened. The calendar includes the following options:
- Back and Next arrows display around the month and year at the top of the calendar to change the date.
- The current date displays in the lower left corner of the calendar; selection sets the calendar to the current date.
- The Clean option is used to clear the current date/time calendar selection.
- The entry fields to the right of the calendar are used to set the time range in hours and minutes.
The search filter functionality is used to narrow the search by filtering results by criteria such as Subject, Spam Score, Recipient Address, or Appliance. Up to 10 filters can be added, with a relationship of “and” to further refine the search. The following table details the search filter options.
