Once an event has been configured, you can start configuring the properties of the event. Select one of the properties in the asset tree that has not been configured yet.

Next, select either [historian](docId\:LhNfEBiwFtA9QNk6ii5Oa) , [external database](docId\:LhNfEBiwFtA9QNk6ii5Oa) or [manual detection mode](docId\:LhNfEBiwFtA9QNk6ii5Oa).

You can optionally set a priority, this determines in which order the properties are evaluated. Priorities with a lower number will be evaluated before priorities with a higher number.

The rest of the configuration depends on the selected detection mode.
