The  Alarm Status Table allows you to view currently active  alarm events in the system, providing an easy way to inspect the  alarm details, shelve  alarms , and acknowledge them. 

Acknowledgement is handled by selecting (checking) alarms and pressing the "Acknowledge" button. 

Shelving is supported by pressing the "Shelve" button when an alarm is selected and choosing a time duration. 

You can change the columns that are displayed and the column width in Preview Mode and in a Perspective Session. Right-click on the table header to show/hide columns. Click and drag the margins of the columns to resize their width. You can also sort table columns in ascending or descending order by simply clicking the up or down arrows next to each column header. Sorting on alarm State and Priority in the Alarm Status Table sorts in descending order. All the other columns the sort order is alphanumerical.

The Alarm Status Table utilizes a shared polling engine to cache and share polling tasks across concurrent sessions. The cache persists for a period of time that matches the configured poll rate. This optimization allows multiple components to poll the alarm system with a reduced impact on overall performance.

Examples

Example 1

In a Perspective Session, click on the Filter button  to filter on alarm states and/or use the Search Bar   to target more specific alarm events. Select from the Configuration Settings  to change the column headers to display the alarm event data you're interested in. 

This example uses the Search Bar to find any text with 'High Wind Speed' in the Active,Unacknowledge alarm state.

Example 2 - Alarm Status Table Row Styles

In the Designer, you can change row styles to be different colors for the different priorities for each alarm state. In this example, the rowStyle for the Critical priority for the activeAcked alarm state was changed to green.
