Configuring Custom Button Properties
Perform the following steps to configure up to three custom buttons
for a specific console definition:
- In the Event Console Configuration view, click Consoles.
- Select and right-click the console to be modified. A pop-up menu is displayed.
- Select Properties from the pop-up menu. The Console Properties dialog box is displayed.
- Click Custom Buttons.
- You can perform the following tasks:
- Create a button
- Click Create Button and enter the button label and fully-qualified path and file name of the
program, script, or other action to take when the button is clicked.
You can also require that operators have to select at least one event when using
the button.
Click OK to save the information.
- Modify a button
- Select a button in the table and click Modify Button to modify the action assigned to the button.
You cannot modify the button label. Click OK to save the information.
- Remove a button
- Select a button in the table and click Remove Button.
- Click OK to save your console property changes.
Notes:
- You cannot modify a button label after the button is created. You can only modify
a button action.
- After configuring or removing custom buttons, operators must exit their
event consoles for the changes to take effect.
- Custom buttons configured with earlier releases may have been enabled
with environment variables. Custom buttons configured as console properties take
precedence over custom buttons defined with environment variables; that is, if
a custom button is defined in the Custom Buttons dialog, any custom button environment
variables are ignored.
