Column Reordering — Event Log Widget¶
Overview¶
The Event Log table supports drag-and-drop column reordering. Users can rearrange any visible column by dragging its header to a new position. The new order is saved automatically and persists across sessions and page reloads.
How to use it¶
- Hover over any column header in the event log table.
- The cursor changes to a grab icon, indicating the column is draggable.
- Click and hold the header, then drag it left or right to the desired position.
- Release to drop the column. The table reorders instantly.
Tip: A drag must travel at least a few pixels before it activates, so accidental drags from single clicks are prevented.
Behavior with hidden columns¶
Hiding a column does not affect the saved order of the remaining columns. When you reorder visible columns, hidden ones stay in their original positions and reappear in the correct place if made visible again.
Saving the order¶
The new column order is saved automatically the moment you release the drag. No extra steps are needed. The order is remembered the next time you open the dashboard.
Admin event log¶
The Admin event log ("Watch all") shows all events with no filters. Column reordering is saved in your browser and survives page reloads, but is local to your current browser and device. Clearing browser data will reset the order to the default.
When something goes wrong¶
- The column snaps back: the order could not be saved (e.g. due to a connection issue). Try dragging again.
- "Event log not found": the event log configuration no longer exists. Contact your administrator to restore or recreate it.
