Replacing Processors with REST

State vs Incident State

Why are there two fields storing the same data? Both fields are synchronised with Business Rules and the values are the same if you keep your instance out of the box.

In a client script, you can override the user settings to show or hide annotations with the following code:

SN.annotations.show()

SN.annotations.hide()

SN.annotations.toggle()
