The parameter concerns the polling of devices for errors. You can have a
group of parameters, each set to control the polling of a different
error?
The group of parameters is some sort of "control set" or "context" for
the group of devices. Seems like a particular group of settings
establish an error reporting priority. I like control set myself.
Windows uses this term to describe all the registry settings currently
active (CurrentControlSet).

Subject: Terminology question
Hello all,
I am searching for a term and wondered if someone here has had a similar
occurence.
A short background - this term is for a parameter in a printer
application that "reaches out and touches"
other printers to ensure that all warnings on individual printers within
the intranet are given in a timely manner to the administrator,
depending on when the administrator wants to be told of certain errors.
We are searching for a term that describes a group of parameters where
each parameter must be configured as to importance, but can be grouped
in different groups of printers and parameters.
My developer is calling these a "filter", which we both feel is wrong,
but my idea of "sieve" is slightly incorrect too, as each error is of
the same weight inside the parameters (although you can assign more
importance to individual errors) and no particular error at the
beginning has more weight than any other.
Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you!
Best regards
Jennifer K. Blom
