Alarm and event lists

Alarm and event lists provide different views of the same alarm table.
The alarm list is used to acknowledge new alarms and it shows all active and unacknow-
ledged process alarms triggered by the system. You can sort the alarms based on various
data and search them using different kinds of criteria.
As an option, you can enable a talking alarm for newly specified alarm types. (Currently
available in Finnish only).
The event list displays the alarms and events triggered by the system. You can sort the
events based on various data and search them using different kinds of criteria.
Description of alarm and event lists
You can open an alarm or event list in the tree or by clicking an alarm list icon configured
on the status bar. You can also create your own lists by editing the basic list and place
them anywhere in the tree. The default lists, however, are located in the Events and
alarms folder.
The alarm list shows all active (not deactivated) and unacknowledged (including deac-
tivated) alarms in the order of arrival. An alarm is removed from the alarm list when it
has been deactivated and acknowledged.
The event list shows all events, including alarms, in the order of arrival (default).
The information (columns) displayed in the list are defined specifically for each customer.
The available columns are shown in Table 7.4-1. To see the meaning of a column, click
the list row: this will display row information (columns) one under the other in the
Properties dialog. Clicking a row in the Properties dialog will display the explanation
of the information (column) at the bottom of the dialog. For more information, see
4.6, Properties dialog. You can group the lists into ordered lists based on alarm priority
or process area.
You can select the alarms/events shown in the list from the alarm table information based
on the following criteria:
• Event time (the time span for which alarms/events are shown)
• Priority (all; alarms; warnings; notifications; events [event list only])
