5.5.13.2 Handling Recurring Events with All-in-One Action
All-in-one action means that you can handle all the child recurrences under a
parent event by simply selecting the parent event and sending the available alarm-
handling commands. You can perform this procedure from the Event Detail bar,
Event List, Investigative Treatment, and Assisted Treatment windows.
 The Counter column for an event contains a number which means that this is a
recurring event [➙ 124] that includes several recurrences.
1. Select the recurring event.
2. According to command availability, do the following:
– Acknowledge [➙ 112] the event.
– If available by configuration:
- Silence/unsilence [➙ 113] a field panel.
- Start/stop [➙ 114] remote notifications.
– Reset [➙ 112] the event.
– Close [➙ 113] the event or suspend [➙ 113] it.
 Each alarm-handling command is sent to all the child recurrences. A message
box informs you that all the recurrences relating to the same category and
generated by the same event source received this command.
