Follow Current Context property

Follow Current Context

Only Show Alarms on Current Asset

Displayed Alarms

True

False

The alarm query shows alarms from the current area of the navigation model.

If you select an asset under an area, the AlarmApp traverses up the navigation hierarchy until it finds the area that contains the selected asset.

Alarms are aggregated for the entire area, including all assets contained in the area, and are displayed in the AlarmApp grid at run time.

Example: Selecting Inlet Valve from the navigation hierarchy shows the same alarms in the alarm grid as the following alarm query:
\Galaxy!Plant_Area

True

True

The alarm query shows alarms from the current selected asset of the navigation model.

If you select an asset under an area, the AlarmApp displays alarms only for selected asset. If the selected asset is an area, only alarms for the area are displayed. If assets contained by the area have alarms, these alarms are not shown.

Example 1: Selecting Inlet_Valve from the navigation hierarchy shows the same alarms in the alarm grid as the following alarm query:
\Galaxy!Plant_Area!Inlet_Valve.*

Example 2: Selecting Plant_Area from the navigation hierarchy shows the same alarms in the alarms grid as the following alarm query:
\Galaxy!Plant_Area!Plant_Area.*

False

False

If Follow Current Context is set to False, the value assigned to the Show Alarms on Selected Asset property does not have any effect.

No alarms related to the current area or asset are displayed within the AlarmApp grid at run time. Instead, the AlarmApp shows alarms from the specified query assigned from the Configuration dialog or, if configured, from the Alarm Query property.
