Adding a situation event console view

You can add a situation event console view to list each alert for situations associated with the current Navigator item and those it subsumes.

Before you begin

This feature requires your user ID to have Workspace Author Mode permission.

About this task

The situation event console view adds a row for every event status change for situations associated with this branch of the Navigator, up to 100 rows. The console has a toolbar for filtering the view to show only the events that you want to see and a window with items for managing events. Take these steps to add a situation event console view to a workspace:

Procedure

  1. Open the workspace where you want to add the situation event console view.
  2. If you want the view to occupy a new pane, click Split vertical icon Split Vertically or Split horizontal icon Split Horizontally in one of the views.
    The pane divides and a duplicate is created. If you split the Navigator, the new view is empty.
  3. Click Situation Event Console Situation Event Console.
    The mouse pointer changes to the view icon (hand icon in Linux). If you get the wrong icon or decide not to add the view, press Escape or click somewhere in the main toolbar.
  4. Click inside the view where you want the event console.
    After you click, the old view is replaced by the event console.
  5. Use any of the filtering tools to limit or expand the rows to show the events you are most interested in.

Results

The view refreshes automatically, adding a row for every status change of the situations associated with this Navigator item and any items below it on the same branch. If you see no rows it means no events have be opened for any situations associated with this Navigator item.
