Event List columns

The operator can: resize the Event List columns (except the event button, Commands, and Information), change the position of the columns (except the event button), customize how the columns display (except the event button and Commands which cannot be removed), and restore the default columns layout.

The following columns may also be available: Location, Designation, Source Alias, Source Name, Source Description, Source Description [View], and Path [View].

Size of alarm-handling commands

Small

Event grouping

Events belonging to the same source and category display grouped under a parent event (recurring events).

The operator can display any recurrences for those events by clicking the Counter column in the event descriptor.

Default event sorting

  1. Event status: Unprocessed (to be Ack) events grouped on top, then unreset events, then events that are Waiting for condition
  2. Category: most severe on top, for example, Life Safety before Fault
  3. Date/time: most recent event on top

With this sorting, all events to be acknowledged will be grouped at the top. Within the ‘to be acknowledged’ group, events will be grouped by category. Finally, within a group of ‘to be acknowledged’ events belonging to the same category, the most recent ones will display on top.

The operator can change default event sorting by clicking on columns headers.
