Setting up Anomaly Event Statuses

Your organization can use event statuses to track and control anomaly events in APM. You can set up rules for how the status can be used. For example, you could specify that the “Immediate Action” status can be applied to actionable events but not non-actionable events. The status can also control the actions that you can perform on the events to which it is applied. For example, in a typical implementation, when an event has the status “Open”, properties can be updated.

From the Site window, select the Inspection Management view and the Settings tab. Select the Risk Assessment tab and the Risk Assessment Management Settings node in the tree.
