Tip
BMC recommends that you use the toolbar to perform operations on multiple events. However, if you choose to use the Tools Menu or the Operations Menu in the Status column, press and hold the Shift key to select multiple continuous events, or the Ctrl key to select multiple non-continuous events, and ensure that you click the Tools Menu on the last selected event.
Event operation descriptions

The following topics provide instructions for performing event operations.
Note
Although all the event operations that are available to your user role are available when you select two or more events in the event list, an operation is performed only on the selected events whose status makes the operation valid. If the operation is not valid for some selected events, a message box reports the internal IDs of those events, and the events are not changed.
