Enabling multiple event definition capability in the event definition editor
By default, the event definition editor enables you to create or edit a single event definition for each event definition file. Although it is generally considered a best practice to have only one event definition for each file, you can nonetheless set a preference that will enable you to add or edit multiple event definitions in a single file from within the event definition editor. This might be necessary if you are working with older event definition files that contain multiple event definitions and you want to edit them simultaneously in the event definition editor and perhaps add or remove event definitions in the file.
To enable multiple event definition capability in the event definition editor:
Procedure
- From the Window menu, select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
- In the Preferences window, select Event Definition Editor. The Event Definition Editor page opens.
- Select the Allow multiple event definitions to be displayed in the editor check box
- Click OK.
What to do next
The next time that you open an event definition file, the Add Event Definition and Remove Event Definition icons will appear at the top of the event definition editor. If the event definition file already contains multiple event definitions, all of the event definitions will be displayed in the editor simultaneously. Information about opening an existing event definition file is found in the topic "Opening existing event definitions."
