Selection guidance

  • Define the Event Frame templates, categories, and time range that belong in the investigation.
  • Use a table for precise records, a timeline for sequence and duration, and analytics symbols for aggregation.
  • Keep the selected event and display time range aligned when users move from summary to detail.
