Best Practices

The Forensic Properties options may not load for events if your Events table gets larger than 1 million records. To get the options to load as quickly as possible, set the Sort method to "AlphaNumeric". Also, fields that are bold are indexed and will typically load much faster. If there are fields that will not load but are necessary for your use, adding an index to the field may alleviate the problem. You can also just type in the value you need to filter by if you know it. You do not have to select it from the list.
