# Event Lenses

## Event lenses are filters that notifications and changes are pushed through that will translate that information into a human readable format.

Format can include communication state notifications, alarms, deadlines, information packages and anything else you might need.

1. **List of event lenses**. When an event lens is created it is listed here with a few data points relating to the event lens.

- - **Name**. Customizable name of the event lens.
    - **Elements**. The specific filters created to be placed over data points, transforming them into human readable information points.
    - **Available to all companies**. Whether it is global or not.

1. **Add an event lens**. Use this button to create a new event lens. Certain fields can be edited or created to help define and characterize the event lens. The form appears below. 
     - - Customizable name.
           - Globally visible.
           - Event codes. Event codes are used so we can place specific data points/alarms/notifications through the data lens. There are other ways to code events as well.

To add this new event lens to the database select “ADD EVENT LENS” once all events have been coded.
