### Name:
Shows the assigned name of the stream. Clicking on the name opens the stream engine which can be used to edit the stream.
### Event:
In order to identify the particular event trigger of a stream, the column **Event** is displaying the related trigger. The corresponding entry can be every trigger in FX, e.g. CONNECTED or CUSTOM\_FX. By clicking a certain trigger in that table view the list will be filtered by that type of event.
### Stream Host:
In general there are two types of streams - **server streams** and **client streams**. The stream's host can be set when a stream will be added. In case the host for an existing stream needs to be changed, this can be edit afterwards in the event trigger for a certain stream.
In case the host is the server, the server will perform all operations in the stream. On the other side all operations are performed by the workstation over which the stream was triggered, when the host will be the client.
A server stream in the table view can identified by the following icon:
A client stream in the table view can identified by the following icon:
