Filter Alarms

In a Situational Awareness project, you can filter an alarms page at runtime using the following tools:

• the alarms list tree view

• the filters toolbar (directly above the alarms list)

• the Reference Equipment list.

These tools are available on the Default Alarm Pages.

If your project uses the SxW or Tab Style templates (accessible via a starter project), you can use the Alarm Filter dialog to filter an alarms list.

This dialog is accessible from the following alarms pages:

• Active Alarms

• Disabled Alarms

• Sequence of Events

• Alarm Summary.

If your project uses standard page templates, you will have access to an earlier version of this dialog.

Note: Both versions of the Alarm Filter form are supported by their own documentation. For more information on how to use a form to filter a list of alarms, refer to the documentation that is accessible from the Help button.
