User-defined Context

User-defined Context allows you to build a monitoring workflow fit-for-purpose for your team or organization.

Required fields include:

Name: which will appear in the Context Pane as well as the Column Header in your event table.
Type: allows you to choose the type of data to be entered
Icon: to be used as visual indicator in the Context Pane, as well as in the event table (for Toggle Types)

Type

The Type allows you control which options will be available to you and your team. Currently supported Types include:

Toggle: a Boolean type that be on or off, similar to Flag and Review.
Label: a pre-defined list of options that can be adjusted to provide a pick-list of text options.
Numeric: a number input, that allows for constraints (upper/lower bounds) as well as precision and units of measure.

Icon

The icons used are from the Font Awesome Library. Only selected Font Awesome icons are available for configuration. They require a similar format to the example above. A full list of supported icons is included below. Note the icon represented in this Knowledge Base article may vary slightly from the one ultimately shown in Vantage.
