Console Properties - Custom Buttons

This dialog box enables you to define text and actions for up to three user-defined buttons in the Event Viewer. You can also require that operators have to select at least one event when using the button. The buttons display in the same area as the other Event Viewer buttons, such as Acknowledge.

This dialog box has the following fields:

Button Label
The text to display on a custom button. Limited to twenty characters.
Button Action
The fully-qualified path and file name to the program, script, or other action to run when a custom button is clicked. A non-zero return code from an action results in an error message to the operator's event console.
Event selection required for button action
When this check box is selected, operators must select at least one event when using the button. The button is not available until an event is selected.

You can create, modify, and remove custom buttons by clicking Create Button, Modify Button, and Remove Button. To create a button, click Create Button. To modify or remove a button, select the button in the table; then, click the appropriate button in the dialog box. Clicking Create Button and Modify Button displays another dialog box for entering information.
