5.5.13 Managing Recurring Events
Recurring events (subsequent events) are a set of events belonging to the same
category, and generated by the same event point property that continuously
switches from
active to quiet status and vice versa.
These events appear grouped under a parent event (acting as container)
designated by the Counter column in the event descriptor that indicates the total
number of detected child recurrences. Any time a new recurrence is generated, the
counter automatically increments.
The parent event always displays the newest recurrence (which also corresponds
with the first recurrence of the set), and the following summary information:
 Event status of the most important recurrence (priority order is Unprocessed,
Waiting for condition, or Ready to be closed)
 Event source status of the most recent recurrence
 Event ID identified by [...] indicating the range between the first and the last
recurrence (for example, 3201…3245)
Even though the counter is visible in the Event Detail bar, Event List, and
Investigative/Assisted Treatment, you can display recurring events only from Event
List.
