file and may be viewed via

5.5.8 CUSTOMIZING EVENT COLORS & TYPES
Users have the capability to customize event colors and specify event types (normal, critical, action needed and
action completed) based on the event pass value. Following is the default configuration:
Pass Value Type Event-Color Acknowledged-Color
0 Normal green green
1 Action-Needed magenta green
2 Critical red green
3 Action-Completed dark blue green
This configuration is present in the EVTCSTM file. A maximum of 100 pass values can be specified (numbered 0-99).
When a filter file is not specified, Web ViewPoint assigns Pass Values 0, 1, 2 or 3 to all events based on the
ZEMS^TKN^ACTION^NEEDED and ZEMS^TKN^EMPHASIS tokens. It then refers to the above table to determine the
event type and the color in which to display the event in the browser. The Event type is needed to display event
counts at the bottom of the event list and is also used to determine whether to display popup/sticky windows if
requested for a particular type such as ‘Display popup window for critical events’.
Following is the default rule used by Web ViewPoint to assign pass values:
 If ZEMS^TKN^EMPHASIS present, Pass Value is 2
 If ZEMS^TKN^ACTION^NEEDED present and is True, Pass Value is 1
 If ZEMS^TKN^ACTION^NEEDED present and is False, Pass Value is 3
 All other cases, Pass Value is 0
