Filter Types
Mass Actions
The mass action selector works in conjunction with the filters to enable you to quickly archive / delete many events at once.
Clicking the checkbox in the top left corner of the event list will select or de-select all items on the current page, you can move from page to page selecting any individual items you want to include in the current selection.
When clicking the checkbox, initially it will also give you the option to "Select all (x) items matching this query instead?". This will automatically select all items that match the current result set.
For example you can use the filters to find all items from a specific device that are older than x days. Then you can "Select all items matching this query instead" which will apply the mass action to ALL of the items that match the current filters.
