Modifying Default Event Policies 

Each event or alarm record includes a log code that defines the event type and actions associated with the event. The built-in event policies define inherent system behavior, such as which events are also alarms, and which events are recorded to the database (all built-in events are recorded to the database by default). These built-in policies are based on the log code only: no other criteria are used to define the event trigger.

The default event policies should be changed only if you need to change an inherent event behavior. For example:

·         Whether the event is an alarm or an event.

·         Whether the event is saved to the database.

·         The event priority.

·         The sound played when the event is triggered.

·         The color shown for the event in the event modules.

When custom events are required, we recommend creating a custom event policy, as described in the following section.
