View the Most Recent Event List

The most recent event list compares current data with data from the last time the agent ran and groups events by event status.

For example, an agent is created to tell you when the quantity sold of any product by any sales person in your database changes. The first time the agent runs, the most recent event list identifies all sales as new events.

Product number	Sales person	Quantity sold
NEW EVENTS
3345	Ashley McCormick	25
3345	Bayard Lopes	15
2256	Alessandra Torta	100

The second time the agent runs, it finds the following product sales.

Product number	Sales person	Quantity sold
3345	Ashley McCormick	35
3345	Bayard Lopes	15
2256	Ashley McCormick	15
2256	Alessandra Torta	150

If you now view the most recent events list, you see the following list:

Product number	Sales person	Quantity sold
