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.
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.
