You can configure Dialog Board as follows:

4. Select the Switch to layout check box (2) (see paragraph 5) to automatically open the layout with this information board when an event matching the filter occurs.
   If other layouts contain information boards with the same parameters, the layout with the smallest number of cells is opened.

5. Select the event types that you want to display on the board and click Add.

   

   To add events of the same type from different devices, enter the name of the event in the Filter field. This will list only the events of the chosen type. To list all events, clear the filter field.
