Managing events

1. Access the required domain by navigating to Workspace > Domains, Services & Applications.
2. In the details page of the domain, that appears on the right, click Navigate to > Events. 
3. Click Add new event in the Top 50 events table.

4. In the Add Event form, fill in the required parameters, providing information that describes the event in terms of time (start, intervention, stop), knowledge (name, description, notes), importance (severity, occurrences, unavailability), type (classification), and associations (on which objects the event has an impact).
   The Add Event form requires the following parameters:

   Field	Description
   Event	The name of the event; this name is shown in the charts, so it is advisable to use a short, self-explanatory name.
   Description	Any additional information you want to add for the event.
   Type	Choose from Domain, System, or Business Driver event.
   Associate with	Click Edit to choose the objects that this event is associated with; this association determines the visibility of the event in charts, that is, an event will appear only in chart analyses containing at least one of the objects associated with the event. Click Apply to save your preferences.
   Classification	Choose from Planned, Not planned (with corresponding subtypes), or Detected. This is an event classification that indicates if the event was planned (for example, a maintenance), not planned (for example, a blackout) or detected (generated by detection models). The subtypes for Planned event are Generic, Maintenance, and Change. The subtypes for Not planned event are Incident, Problem, and Error.
   Periodic event	Select True or False. If you select True, this option allows you to specify a time period. For example, this can indicate a maintenance that is repeated every week.
   Severity	The severity of an event can be defined by using a discrete scale, ranging from 1 (lowest severity) to 5 (highest severity); you can also log whether the event caused service unavailability or not.
   Event caused service unavailability	Select True if the service was down during the event, otherwise select False.
   Event occurrence	The number of times the event took place.
   Begin	The start date and time of the event.
   Trace intervention time:	Select True if you want to enter the intervention time to resolve the event.
   End	The end time of the event (only if the event is not instantaneous).
   Color	Choose the color that will be used in charts and in the list of event; if a custom color is not specified, the default one for the event class will be used.
   Note	Add here any further information about the event.

   Depending on the type of the event, some fields may be unavailable; for example, instantaneous events do not require an end time.
   

5. When done, click Save to create the macroscopic event.
