With the appropriate permissions, you can edit event templates and specify default elements of those templates. You must specify the types of events for which the template is appropriate. A description of each template appears in the Event Templates page to help you find the appropriate template for your current needs.

Knowing the exact location of an event can be a critical element of your response. On these templates, select the Mandatory Address checkbox to require that the person creating the event to enter the location details (City, State, and County).

  • The Status Types you choose for a template must be appropriate for the selected resource types.

  • You can associate up to 50 status types with a template.

  • Including many resource types and status types may cause problems for users running older computers and/or browsers.
