Event groups
If you want to monitor an area for several different events, but only want to see one of them trigger an alert at a time, use an event group.
An event group consists of 2 to 5 events, organized in priority order. If several events occur on the same area of interest simultaneously, only the event with the highest priority triggers the alert. This means that only the icon for the event that triggered the alert is shown in red color, and the notifications that users receive also only show the name of that event. The other event icons are shown in white, even though they are in the area of interest. (If the events were not part of the event group, they would all be shown in red).

You need to have the poweruser role to create and edit event groups. However, all users with a Focus role can attach event groups to their areas of interest. Powerusers can also define whether alerts triggered by an event group will be sent to external systems through the alert API. For more information on the API, see IRIS Focus Administrator Guide (M211850EN). |
