Displaying event information
BSCW has several ways to display information about events:
o Event icons in the
entries of a folder page inform you at a glance that some action of a specific
event type was performed on this object recently.
To the right of the object name various event icons may be displayed: 
, 
, 
, 
and 
. Click an event icon to obtain a
list of the recent events of the type symbolized by the icon.
o A detailed history of
all events is maintained for all objects, reaching as far back as your BSCW
administrator restores events. Choose 
from an object’s action menu to view its history.
o The periodic e-mail report on workspace activity lists all events and microblog messages of interest across all your workspaces that occurred the previous day or week.
o Direct e-mail informs about events or microblog messages immediately.
o The BSCW RSS event feeds provide recent events as RSS formatted news. Using these RSS feeds, modern browsers (or other RSS aggregators) may poll BSCW for online information on what is going on in your workspaces.
You may also export all events of a given object by
selecting
from this object’s action menu. The events are exported in the form of a
comma-separated .csv file, e.g. for further processing with a spreadsheet
program.
There is a specific way of displaying recent microblog messages in BSCW:
o The display of new
microblog messages at the top-level interface. Clicking on the icon 
left of the logout icon lists
all new microblog messages since you last visited the display.
