Applying rule actions to a list of events

You can apply defined actions to a list of events while you create a seasonal event rule.

Before you begin

To access the View Seasonal Events portlet, users must be assigned the ncw_analytics_admin role.

About this task

One of the events in the list on the Related Event Selection window is the seasonal event from which you launched the Create Rule dialog box. When the rule you created is fired, the rule is fired on the seasonal event and the related events that you selected. Because the rule is fired on the seasonal event, it is not possible for you to deselect this seasonal event from the list of related events displayed in the Related Event Selection window.

Procedure

To select a list of events to which the defined action applies, complete the following steps.

  1. Open the View Seasonal Events portlet.
  2. Select a specific configuration or ALL in the configuration table.
  3. Select a seasonal event from the events table.
  4. Right-click the seasonal event and select Create Rule.
  5. To choose all related events:
    1. In the Event Selection pane of the Create Rule page, click the Select all related events checkbox.
  6. Or, to choose one or more related events:
    1. In the Event Selection pane of the Create Rule page, click the Edit Selection... control button.
      The Related Event Selection window displays. Note that the seasonal event from which you launched the Create Rule dialog box has a check mark that you cannot deselect.
    2. Select one or more related events from the list displayed in the Related Event Selection window.
    3. Click OK.
  7. To save your changes, choose one of the following options:
    1. Select Watch to monitor the rule's performance before it is deployed.
    2. Select Deploy to activate the rule.

Results

The updated seasonal event rule is saved and the defined actions are applied to the selected related events.
