# FPE: Manage Events

From the Project Menu, select Manage Events... or from the toolbar, click on the Manage Events button . This will open the Project Event Set window.

The event set of a project is made up of the union of the event sets of all the DES that are part of the project. Events are logically identified by their name hence two events with the same name have to be identical in all respects: alias, controllability and type. The project event manager is therefore useful for checking for any kind of inconsistencies and to be able to add an event from one DES to another in the same project. This ensures that two events that are supposed to be the same, are in fact identical. Events that have conflicts are shown in red. A tooltip helps users diagnose and resolve any conflicts.

The Add Project Events to DES button is used to move selected events to the DES currently displayed in the DES Event Set window. Hold CTRL when you select an event to select more than one at a time. The DES displayed in the DES Event Set window can be changed using the Select DES: drop-down box . The Remove DES Events button will remove the selected events in the DES Event Set window from the DES currently being viewed.

The Edit Project Event button will edit the event that is currently selected in the Project Event Set window. Changes made here will be reflected in every instance of the event in every DES in the project. Use this feature when you want to globally change an event. Use the Edit Event option in the Tabular or Graphical editor to edit an event in a specific DES only. By typing an event name in the Find project event: text box , you can quickly find the event you're looking for.
