15.3 AlarmIndicator
As long as there are active alarms in the alarm server, the alarm indicator notify
window will be displayed, regardless of which screen is active. The color shows
the current alarm status, and can be configured for each of the alarm groups. The
indicator starts in the upper left corner of the screen in runtime, but can be moved
toanypositiononthemonitorinruntime.
The appearance of the alarm indicator depends on the current alarm status. It
will show the most severe status of the alarms in the list. The Alarm Indicator
disappears when all alarms have been acknowledged, and all alarms have returned
to inactive status.
Select General settings in alarm server properties page to decide for which alarm
statuses to show the alarm indicator.
