IPAC Server Administrator's Manual

Threat Level Configuration

The IPAC Server™, rather than strict imposition of arbitrary numbers, allows a user defined
set of rules to be implemented to suit the needs of the user. Threat Levels can be created
and arranged in any severity desired by the administrator.
Each threat level has the following properties:
Property Type
Name Text
Description Text
Color Color (chosen
from palette)
Message Text
Default Level Radio button
Password Checkbox
To Create a Threat Level:
1. Scroll over the Configuration link. The sub-navigation menu displays.
2. Select Threat Levels from the Account dropdown list.
3. Click on the Create New Threat Level button.
4. Enter a Name for the new threat level.
5. Click on the Select button and choose a color from the palette.
6. Enter a Description of the threat level. This message will appear on the Change
Threat Level popup page when a threat level is changed.
7. Enter the Banner information that will appear next to the Change Threat Level
button when the threat level is engaged. This field will not appear when the
default threat level is engaged.
8. Check the Prompt for password checkbox if you want a password to be required
to activate this threat level.
9. When finished, click Save. This will return you to the Threat Level Details page.
10. If you wish for this threat level to be the default threat level, return to the
Threat Levels list page and choose the Default radio button for this threat level.
NOTE:
Even though a threat level has been created, until such time

as any threat level is actually activated, the system will
continue to operate as if there are no threat levels in place.
