# Monitor - Panel Participating Organisations

The `Participating organisations` panel can show you the alarmed units with status and feedback from several of your organisations. The prerequisite for this is that the organisations are all in the same organisational structure. In addition, the events of the alarms must be provided with the identical external ID in all organisations. The external ID can be transferred via [API interface](https://developer.groupalarm.com/api/alarming.html#tag/event/operation/CreateEvent) or via flow using the [Create event](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/elements-of-the-flow-create-event-zmtrlt/) element. All organisations involved in the alerting process can use the panel in the same way.

| 💡 If you use the flow, you must trigger the alarm in the previously opened existing event in the [Trigger alarm](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/elements-of-the-flow-trigger-alarm-o3gzcv/) element.

1️⃣ In addition to a title for the panel, you can adjust the font size and colour of the font and background for optimum display on your monitor.

| 💡 You can find information on the advanced formatting options [here](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/edit-monitor-6fw9kh/#6-formatting-the-monitor).

2️⃣ You can use the `Show event` function to display the event name on the panel. This allows you to identify the alarm currently displayed. The screenshot shows the event name ‘test’, indicated by the exclamation mark.

3️⃣ The `Show positive feedback` function displays the number of participants who have acknowledged positively in the respective organisation. The sum of the positive acknowledgements of all alarms of the displayed event is always shown.

4️⃣ `Show units` lists the names and status of all units involved for each organisation.

|| ⚠️ The units are only displayed if a status has previously been stored for the unit. Units without a status are not displayed. You can set the status of a unit via the [API interface](https://developer.groupalarm.com/api/alarming.html#tag/units/operation/SetUnitStatus) or automatically via the [organisation settings](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/organisation-settings-unit-status-65we65/) when opening and closing an event.
