5.3.1.1 Event Button
An event button is a graphic indicator that displays on the left side of an alarm's
event descriptor [➙ 84]. It graphically summarizes some of the most important
information about that alarm. The background color of the event button indicates
the alarm's category [➙ 99], while the icon indicates its discipline [➙ 100]. The
event button also shows the status of the alarm's source [➙ 103], and the
suggested next action the operator should take (for example, what command to
send next).
An event button flashes until you acknowledge its associated alarm.
In some Client Profiles [➙ 87], when the Event List window is closed the event
buttons still remain visible (as an Event bar) on the left-hand side of the screen.
