Hide alarms

The "hiding" and "unhiding" of alarm records is known in the AlarmApp as "suppressing" and "unsuppressing".

When the AlarmApp is hiding alarms, it ignores certain alarms. If an alarm matches the exclusion criteria, it is not visible.

The actual alarm generation is completely unaffected by hiding. Alarm records are still logged into the alarm history.

You can hide:

• All alarms, including alarms not visible due to the limited space of the AlarmApp

• All visible alarms

• One or more selected alarms

• All alarms with the same provider names and group names of one or more selected alarms

• All alarms with the same provider names, group names, and within the priority ranges of one or more selected alarms

• All alarms with the same provider names, group names, and tag names within the priority ranges of one or more selected alarms

You can also view which alarms are hidden and unhide them.
