Select it to display a dialog similar to the one shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Creating a Manual Event
1. In the Begin Date field, enter or select the date you want to be associated
with the event.
2. Leave the Duration fields blank if this is an active event. Otherwise, enter a
zero for days, hours, or minutes to indicate a simple, one-time event.
3. Select a Severity level from the dropdown. Your selection determines
whether the manual event is shown as an Alarm, Event, or entry in the
Service log.
4. Enter the Comments that will be displayed in the Events viewer.
5. Click OK to close the dialog.
