Event Button

An event button is a graphic indicator that displays on the left side of an event descriptor. It graphically summarizes some of the most important information about that event.

An event button flashes until you acknowledge its associated event.

In some Client Profiles, when Event List is closed the event buttons remain still visible (as an Event bar) on the left-hand side of the screen.
