Deleting and Clearing an Event
Deleting an event removes it permanently from the Event List.
Clearing an event leaves the named Event in the Event List but
clears all associated triggers and actions.
To delete an event:
1
Select one or more events in the Event List.
2
Do one of the following:
• Click the Delete button on-screen.
• Right-click a selected event and choose Delete.
3
Click Delete in the Confirm Event Operation dialog to de-
lete the event. Or click Cancel to cancel the operation.
To clear an event:
1
Select one or more events in the Event List.
2
Do one of the following:
• Click the Clear button on-screen.
• Right-click a selected event and choose Clear.
3
Click Clear in the Confirm Event Operation dialog to clear
the event. Or click Cancel to cancel the operation.
Enabling and Disabling Events
Events can be disabled to suspend their operation. An event
can be selected and edited while it is disabled.
You can toggle the enabled state of one or more events in the
list by clicking the on-screen Enable icons in the Event List, or
you can disable the Event List globally by clicking the master
events Disable button.
Toggling Enable Status for Selected Events
To toggle the enable/disable status of an event in the list:
1
Select one or more events in the Event List.
2
Click the Enable icon for the selected event to toggle its
state. Or, right-click an item and choose Enable or Disable as
appropriate. When the Enable icon is lit (green) the event is
enabled; when the icon is unlit the event is disabled.
Disabling an active event does not automatically de-activate
any associated actions configured for While Active behavior.
Use the Reset command instead (see “Resetting Events” on
page 203).
Disabling an event stops all delay timers (Wait properties) as-
sociated with that event, preventing any pending (delayed)
actions from occurring.
Disable All Events
The Disable button in the Events Commands section lets you
temporarily disable all events in the event list.
To disable all Events:
■
Click the on-screen Disable button in the Events Com-
mands area. The Disable button lights, and all items in the
Event List show “Disabled” in the Status column.
To re-enable Events:
■
Click the Disable button again.
All Events are prevented from firing when the global Disable
function is in effect. However, active events are not de-acti-
vated. Use Reset or Reset All for this (see “Resetting Events” on
page 203).
Individual Event enable/disable status is preserved (events re-
tain the current state of their Enable icons) and can be modi-
fied when globally disabling and enabling events using the
master Disable button.
Disabling an event stops all timers (Wait/delay properties) as-
sociated with that event, preventing any pending (delayed)
actions configured for While Active behavior from occurring.
Snapshot Modes and Event Status
While in Propagate or Edit modes, events-driven snapshot re-
call is suspended.
While in Preview mode, triggers that occur in the online state
of the console are executed, including MTC-driven recall of
snapshots. Triggers caused by changes to the offline (Preview)
controls are ignored and do not cause events to occur.

Disabling an event can be a useful troubleshooting tool,
such as when an event has caused an action/trigger feed-
back loop and must be edited before being re-enabled.
