Interactive Alarm List

The alarm page templates (except the Hardware Alarms template) feature an interactive alarm list that supports the following functionality:

Adjustable Columns

The user can adjust the columns displayed on the alarm list. Options include:

• Reposition a column by drag-and-drop its column heading to the new position.
• Delete a column by drag-and-drop its column heading (vertically) beyond the column heading row.
• Insert or delete a column via a pop-up menu by right-clicking a column heading
• Adjust the size of a column by dragging the column separator that appears at the right edge of a column heading.

Selection of Alarms

The user can select single or range of alarms on the alarm list so that the same operation can be applied to multiple selected alarms in one go. Alarm selection works as follows:

• To select a single alarm: Left-click an alarm that is not already selected to select it.
• To select a range of alarms: Select a single alarm to mark the start of the selection. Then hold the SHIFT key and left-click another alarm to extend the selection. You can adjust the range of the selection by SHIFT left-clicking another row of alarm.
• To deselect alarm(s): Left-click any alarm within a selection range to deselect the whole range.

Context Menu

Right-click on any alarm row to bring up the context menu for alarm operations. If you right-click on an alarm that is not already selected, this will select it. Subsequent commands (selected from the context menu) will then only operate on this single alarm. On the other hand, if you right-click on any alarm within a selection range, this will not change the selection. Subsequent commands selected will operate on each alarm within the selection range. Several operation options are available in the context menu:

• Information: displays the detailed information of a single alarm that has the cursor focus (indicated by surrounded by a white box).
• Help: displays the Help page (which is set in the Help field of the alarm record in Project Editor) of a single alarm that has the cursor focus.
• Acknowledge: acknowledges selected alarms. This option is restricted by the privilege set by the parameter [Privilege]AckAlarms. This is not available on the Alarm Summary page.
• Disable: disables selected alarms. This option is restricted by the privilege set by the parameter [Privilege]DisableAlarms. It is not available on the Disabled Alarms page.
• Enable: enables selected alarms. This option is restricted by the privilege set by the parameter [Privilege]DisableAlarms. It is not available on the Active Alarms page.
