Create event template

Create an event template for the Timeline Series Config tool.

About this task

A event template provides a way to visualize all of the events captured in the stream. The goal is to build a template in HTML that renders the events in the activity log so that users (or customers) can review their activity in a well organized, clear format.

If you want to review a configuration workflow for the Timeline Series Config tool, which includes this task, see Configure Event Stream with Timeline Series Config Tool.

Steps

1. On the Admin & Rights 2.0 dashboard, under Platform Configurations, click Timeline Series Config. The Timeline Series tool opens, displaying the Event Categories page.
2. From the navigation column, click Event Templates.
3. Then click Create an Event Template.
4. In the HTML field of the New Event Template modal, enter the HTML code you want the template to apply to the events displayed in the stream.
5. Then, if you have any additional HTML details to include in the event template, specify them in the HTML Details field.
6. If you want some of the template to include non-HTML, plain text, specify that text in the Plain Text field.
7. Finally, from the Event Type Name dropdown, select the event type of the activity data you want formatted using the event template.
8. Then click Save.

Once you save the event template, its corresponding HTML code and any plain text displays in the Event Templates table. Note tat the HTML is not rendered inside the table; it's just displayed as code.
