Managing Outage Events

Managing outage events requires interaction between the Events list, Crews list, Event Details, and the Map. The rest of this section explains these tools and provides procedures for performing actions in the Flex Operations client. All of the actions may be performed in the NMS Web Workspace with Switching client and have been described in detail in the relevant chapters (<Color>Chapter , "", <Color>Chapter , "", and <Color>Chapter , ""). The focus of this chapter is on taking advantage of the unique features that Flex Operations offers.

Working with the Events and Crews Tool

Events and Crews are displayed together (in a tab view) because of their close association when managing outages.

Note: You can change the relative height of the Events and Crews panes by dragging the separator bar up or down.

The columns in the Events pane and in the Crews pane are the same as the Web Workspace Work Agenda and Crew Actions List View, respectively.

• See Understanding Work Agenda Data Display on page 2-38 for descriptions of the columns in the Events pane.

• See Understanding the Crew List View on page 4-6 for descriptions of the columns in the Crews pane.

• Common outage management procedures are documented in Chapter 3, Managing Events with Web Trouble Management.
