¶ Finding Events of Interest
Use the Event Name search box at the top of the form to simplify finding events of interest.
¶ Playing Alerts
To listen to an alert, highlight the alarm and click Play Alert. KITS will play the chosen selection.
¶ Role and Agency
The user may customize the event filter settings based on the role and zone.
¶ Master Event Configuration
If checked, the selected role has Master Event Configuration privileges. The Status Service uses the settings under this role to determine which alarms are stored and which alarms are ignored.
¶ Applying Configuration Changes to Additional Roles and Zones
Modifications made to any Role can be applied to any other Role by selecting the Role(s) in the bottom part of the form under "Apply Configuration To:" and clicking on the Apply Config button. The user has the option to apply the entire configuration of a Role or to only apply configuration changes to rows that changed. Similarly, the user has the option to apply the modifications to additional Zones for the selected Role(s).
