Updating global events through the GUI

Action

Result

Auto revert

Updating the events through the controller GUI or the web GUI are ignored, if the program is marked as a global event in ToolsTalk 2.

The update is made and sent back to ToolsTalk 2 where the change is recognized but not acknowledged. The original global event program is then immediately pushed back to the controller.

Unlink

Updating the events through the controller GUI or the web GUI causes the program to change from a global event to a local event, in the affected controller.

The update is made and sent to ToolsTalk 2 where the change is recognized. As a result the event is immediately removed from the distribution list to the controller.

The selection of auto revert or unlink must be made when a global event is configured for distribution to a controller. The selection cannot be changed at a later stage.
