2.3.4 Handling Recurrences of an Event
A recurring event occurs when the same event source repeatedly generates the
same condition, for example because it repeatedly switches between the Active
and Quiet states. In some Client Profiles, recurring events are grouped together
under a parent event, which acts as a container for them. The parent event has a
Counter field in its descriptor that indicates the total number of occurrences. For

recurrences have smaller event buttons than the parent event and are

List. However, you can first filter Event List and then expand the
recurrences.
2. To hide the recurrences, click inside the Counter column of the parent event
again.
Handle all Recurrences Together from a Parent Event
You can handle all the recurrences of an event at the same time by selecting the

Treatment or Assisted Treatment windows.
