Event Management "Event Rule" Transform and Compose default fields

[TravisLinville]

When looking at an Event Rule, specifically in the "Transform and Compose Alert Output" tab, how do you control the options that show up in the main section of this table? Not the Event Input/Raw Event Input sections, but the main area you define how to compose the Alert? 

We've added a few custom fields to the em_alert table and it seems like they automatically show up in this view, and we'd like to be able to control if they're visible.

Thanks,

Travis

I have to admit I don't have a good answer for this one and you sent me on a bit of a rabbit hole chase this morning. ;-}

We have a couple of custom fields as well, and they were added before I took over. I went back to the original design docs and didn't see any good mention of them. But we also don't hide them on the Event Rule form.

My best ideas right now are either an ACL or a UI Policy that could hide them.

Fields are controlled in table 'em_event_rule_black_list'

If you want a specific field to show in event rule, go to table 'em_event_rule_black_list.LIST' from application navigator and open the field and select 'show in rule'. To hide a field from transform and compose section, uncheck 'show in rule' and save the record

If this helped to answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution.

Interesting. I love learning something new on something I've been the Admin for over 5 years now. Thanks! ;-}

That also led me to learning about the em_event_rule_order table as well. I haven't had a need to edit either, but now they are in my back pocket!
