# Events on Android
From the **Events** tab in the Android app you can:
* Search and Filter Events
* Play Event Footage
* Save and Share Events
### Search and Filter Events
You can view different types of events from the Android mobile application - tap on the type of event you want to view near the top of the **Events** tab:
For example, if you select **Transaction**, only transaction events appear in the area below.
You can then further filter the displayed events by a specific day, week, month, or year. To do so:
1. Select the specific timeframe you want to filter by:
2. Navigate to a different timeframe using the arrows below the chart (for example, if you selected **Week**, use the arrows to navigate to different weeks):
3. You can tap the green bars in the chart to navigate to a specific point in the timeframe (in the "Week" example, you can tap to see events from a specific day in the selected week):
You can also filter events by **locations**, or select a [**report**](/docs/understand-your-business/search-and-save-reports/create-a-report.md) to further filter events.
To filter by either locations or reports:
1. Tap the filter button in the top-left corner of the **Events** tab:
**Note**: The filter button will appear to be "crossed out" if no filter is currently selected. 2. Tap one of the following buttons:
```
* Tap the **top button** to filter by locations (by default, this will say "All locations"):
* Select location(s) from the list, then tap **Select** to filter events by those locations:
OR
* Tap the **bottom button** to filter using your created reports or default reports (by default, this will say "All events"):
* Select report(s) from the list, then tap **Select** to filter events using the parameters defined in the report:
```
### Play Event Footage
To play and/or pause the video of the event straight from the Events tab, tap on the thumbnail of the event:
To open the event in the video player and watch the video of the event, select he square bracket icon in the event thumbnail:
### Save and Share Events
Select the **save icon** located right below the event thumbnail to initiate the save and share process:
Once you select the save icon, you can fill out the following information to save and share the clip:
* Add **Notes** to the event clip (optional, may help you or others understand the context of the clip later on when reviewing).
* Enter email(s) of the recipients you want to receive this clip.
* Visibility will be **Public** by default for events. This means the clip can be viewed by anyone, including non-Solink users.
Once you have filled out the information, select **Save** to save the clip and share it with the desired recipients.
Once the clip has been saved, you can access the saved clip from the [**Clips**](/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/clips.md) page in the Solink platform (browser).
You can also access saved clips from **Events** > **Clips**:
### Alarm Events on Android
This section provides an overview of Alarm Events on the Android mobile app.
**View Open Alarms**
An alarm that is currently in progress and recording footage is referred to as an **Open** alarm.
To view your Open alarms:
1. Select the **Alarm** tab:
2. Select the **Open** tab:
3. You can scroll through any Open alarms from this page.
**Sort Alarm Events**
You can sort alarm events based on the day, week, month, or year the alarm events were captured. Additionally, you can filter by **Open** or **All** alarm events.
Use the tabs near the top of the **Events** page to find alarm events with the desired search filter:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/release-notes/legacy-apps/android-app-help/events-on-android.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
