Assigning an Event Group

To assign an event group to an event console, perform the following steps. You must have created an event group prior to attempting to assign it to a console.

  1. In the Event Console Configuration view, expand Consoles.
  2. Expand the console's folder to assign the event group to.
  3. Select the Event Groups folder for the console.
  4. Right-click the Event Groups folder. A pop-up menu is displayed.
  5. Click Assign Event Groups from the pop-up menu. The Console Properties dialog box is displayed, with the Event Groups list shown.
  6. Press the Assign Groups button. The Assign Event Groups To Console dialog box is displayed.
  7. Select one or more event groups from the Available Event Groups list.
  8. Select the event group roles based on the tasks that operators need to perform for the events in the event group.

    Note: The event group roles you select apply to every event group you assign in this dialog box; that is, if you select and assign three event groups to a console at the same time and specify a role of user, all three event groups are assigned the user role.

    To change event group roles for an event group:

    1. Select the event group from the Event Groups list in the Console Properties dialog box.
    2. Press the Edit Roles button.
    3. Change the roles.
    4. Press OK.
    5. Repeat as necessary for each event group to change.
  9. Click OK to save your changes in the Assign Event Groups To Console dialog box.
  10. Click OK to save your changes in the Console Properties dialog box.
