Task Panels

The alarm page templates share panels to the left of the alarms list that support the following functionality:

Page Tasks

Allows the user to navigate through the list of alarms a page at a time. The Print / Export hyperlink (not available in the hardware alarm page) allows the user to send the alarms on the list to a printer or a file. The output will be presented in a HTML table, and reflects the columns, filter and sort settings that are currently used on the display. There are options to output available alarms (starting from page 1) or specific pages of alarms staring from the current page off the alarm list. The blue box indicates the current page number of the alarm list.

Filter Tasks

Allows the user to filter the current list based on date time, alarm name, plant area, alarm category and other criteria. The Reset filter hyperlink clears the effect of the filter criteria specified through the filter form. The blue box indicates the current filter setting. It may display one of the following states:

• No Filter - no filter is applied
• Advanced Filter - filter criteria specified in the filter form is applied
• Custom Filter - filter criteria is applied via Cicode function AlarmSetInfo() by the user
