[Example] Configuring a Custom Global Events Library

Scenario

This example shows how to create a customized regional events library with an event schema that uses the 10-category mapping pattern (ten event lamps), two additional custom colors, and a new event category to handle High Risk Gas events. For background information, see Events Library.

  • The new category is created using text group extensions, which is the method used when text group customization is not possible (for example, because different extension modules require changes to text groups at the same library level).
  • In this example, only the sound files included in the Media library at L1-Headquarter library level are used.

Prerequisites

  • You are trained and authorized to work with system libraries at the target customization level. For example, L3-Region.
  • System Manager is in Engineering mode.
  • System Browser is in Management View.
