Configuring Events Boards

Events Boards display some or all system events.

To configure an Events Board:

1. Add an information board to the layout (see Adding information boards to cells).

2. In the upper-right corner, click the  button.

3. To allow operators to hide the information board, select the Allow hiding panel check box (1).
   
4. To automatically open the layout with this information board when an event matching the filter occurs, select the Switch to layout check box (2) (see paragraph 5).
   If other layouts contain information boards with the same parameters, the layout with the smallest number of cells is opened. If there are multiple layouts with identical numbers of cells, the layout that comes first in the alphabet is chosen.  If a layout containing this information board is open when an event is received, no switch to another layout is performed.

5. In the list, 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.

   To remove an added event type, click the  button

   If no event type is selected, all system events are displayed on the information board.

   You can also add any text to the filter. For example, if you add  Signal lost filter, Event Board will display event data from all devices in the system.

6. Select the default view for information on the Events Board (see Options for displaying information on Events Boards): the first frame of the event and time, first frame and text, or text only (3).
7. Click the Apply button to save changes (4).

Configuration of the Events Board is complete.
