Enabling the Rank Column in Event ManagerBy default, the Rank column in Event Manager is hidden.

The business cost of an application is set in System Manager, as described in ”Assigning a Business Cost to a Application” on page 248.
To enable the Rank column:
1.Click Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in the Disk Space tree.
2.Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
