Add a user-defined event

No matter how you want to use user-defined events, you must add each user-defined event through the Management Client.

  1. Expand Rules and Events > User-defined Events.
  2. In the Overview pane, right-click Events > Add User-defined Event.
  3. Enter a name for the new user-defined event, and click OK. The newly added user-defined event now appears in the list in the Overview pane.

The user can now trigger the user-defined event manually in XProtect Smart Client if the user has permissions to do so.

If you delete a user-defined event, this affects any rules in which the user-defined event is in use. Also, a deleted user-defined event only disappears from XProtect Smart Client when the XProtect Smart Client users log out.
