3.1.14.2 Handling all Recurrences Together from a Parent Event
Scenario: You want to handle all the recurrences of an event at the same time by
selecting the parent event and sending alarm-handling commands from there. You
can do this from Event List, but also from the Event Detail bar, and from the
Investigative Treatment or Assisted Treatment windows.
 The Counter column in the event descriptor of an event contains a number,
which means it is a parent recurring event.
1. Select the parent recurring event by clicking its event button.
NOTE: You can also use the CTRL and/or SHIFT keys to select multiple
events—but such a selection can only include parent events. You cannot, for
example, select a parent event and an individual child recurrence belonging to
a different parent event.
2. Send alarm-handling commands from the parent descriptor in the normal way,
as described in Sending Alarm-Handling Commands in Fast Treatment or
Investigative Treatment [➙ 70].
 Each alarm-handling command you send from the parent is sent to all the child
recurrences as well. For example, if you acknowledge the parent event, all its
recurrences are acknowledged as well.

3.1.14.3 Handling Individual Recurrences of an Event Separately
Scenario: You want to handle one or more individual recurrences of an event
separately, rather than handling them all at the same time from the parent event.
1. In Event List, click inside the Counter column of the event you want to handle
to expand its recurrences.
 The child recurrences display under the parent event. Note that the
topmost child recurrence always corresponds to the parent event.
2. Select the child recurrence that you want to handle by clicking its event button.
You can also use the CTRL and/or SHIFT keys to select multiple child
recurrences, but they must all belong to the same parent event.
3. Send alarm-handling commands from the child recurrence’s descriptor in the
normal way, as described in Sending Alarm-Handling Commands in Fast
Treatment or Investigative Treatment [➙ 70].
 Each alarm-handling command will only be sent to the selected child
recurrence.
4. When you finish handling an individual child recurrence (typically, after you
send a Reset or Close command), it will be cleared from the list when you
deselect it.
NOTE: Since the topmost child recurrence corresponds to the parent event,
any commands you send to it will also affect the parent event. If the topmost
