26 Event Counters
The Event Counters tab of the ACS Resources screen displays the event counters for each customer. Each event counter is maintained separately.
Event counters simply count an event. They may be accessed at runtime and can be used, for example, for televoting. Counters can be queried in real-time on the Statistics Chart screen.
It is not possible to delete an event counter that is currently in use by a compiled control plan. Editing an event counter will cause all compiled control plans that use that record to be recompiled.
The ACS system administrator allocates customers a maximum number of counters on the Edit Customer Resource Limits screen. Users of sufficient privilege (level 4 and above) may add, delete, and rename their event counters within that limit.
