Event Activity Types

There are a number of SLM events that can occur in ASM Core involving escalations and breaches. When an event occurs, it is written into a database table.

The following SLM event types are recorded in ASM Core:

Resolve Breach
First Call Breach
Response Breach
First Call Escalation
Response Escalation
SLA Clock stopped
OLA Clock stopped
UC Clock stopped
Reminder
Resolve Escalation Level 1
Resolve Escalation Level 2
Resolve Escalation Level 2

You can rename these event types, if required. However, you cannot delete them, or create additional event types.

Because each event is assigned a number by ASM Core internally and triggers notifications, you should ensure that the name you specify accurately represents the actual event.

Renaming an Event Type

Before you start

You must have SLM Setup enabled within your General Access Security Role in order to configure any SLM administration settings.

Verify that you have already defined options for Workflow Management and the CMDB, especially priorities, types, service levels, service types and CMDB item types.

Select the Menu button, then Admin, and then select System Administration. The System Administration window is displayed, with a menu of options available.
In the Explorer pane, select Service Level Management.
Select Event Activity Type to open the window.
Select the required Event Type by clicking on the Name field.
Type over the name with the new name.
Select to save the changes. Provide the Change Reasons if prompted to do so.
