Update Event

The Update Event object updates an event attribute that you specify.

How it is used

Use the Update Event object to change the status of an event by updating the Status attribute.

Note: The Update Event object can replace the actions of other objects in this Integration Pack:

To replace the Change Event Severity object: Using the Update Event object, select the Severity attribute and set the value that you require.

To replace the Acknowledge Event object: Using one Update Event object, select the Administrator attribute and set the value that you require. Using a second Update Event object, select the Status attribute and set the value to ‘ACK’.

Do not use the Update Event object to replace the Close Event object.
