An Event Priority is an action that arranges events in order of importance.
The dedicated Event Priorities tile opens the Event Priorities panel. The list of Event Priorities can be opened in view mode by all system users, regardless of their permissions set.
The Priorities panel lists all the Event priorities. By default, a set of priorities is available in the i4connected portal, but the user can customize them or add new ones, as described in this article.
The Priorities panel features a filtering mechanism, that allows the user the possibility to search by priority name. By clicking the Reset filter button all the contents in the search field are removed and the filter is no longer applied to the list.
By clicking the Refresh toolbar button, the user can manually reload/refresh the list of Event Priorities.
Adding priorities
An administrator user can add new Event priorities by clicking the Add toolbar button. The Add new Event priority functionality is only available for users having the Manage Events permission enabled.
The Add event priority panel features the following settings:
Event priority value - The value associated with the event priority. This field expects a numerical value.
Name - The name of the event priority.
Color - The color associated with the event priority. The color is selected from the color picker tool. Once color is selected from the tool, the color code is filled in the field.
Display in Status Bar - Enables or disables the priority counts to be shown in the status bar.
Note
All Events triggered with a Priority for which the Display in Status Bar setting was enabled, will appear in the portal's status bar, as an alarm counter.
