Severity icons
For users who are members of the DSView 3 software administrators or auditor user groups, the 
non-critical, critical and non-recoverable icons also appear near the right edge of the top navigation 
bar in the DSView Explorer window when events of that severity occur. Each icon is accompanied 
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 345). 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.
