Severity icons
For users who are members of the DSView 3 software administrators or auditor user groups, the

by a total count of new events of that severity. The counter is decremented when an event of that
severity is deleted from the event log or when an event’s state is changed from New to
Acknowledged (see Event states on page 315). The counter is incremented when a new event of
that severity is added to the log or when an event’s state is changed from Acknowledged to New.
