3.1.1 Workspace
The workspace provides a tabular view of the existing alarms. The view can be
quickly reduced to a subset of variables using the filters provided on the title bar.
By clicking with the mouse on a header, the table can be sorted in ascending or
descending order according to the column selected.
The column width can be changed by dragging its borders. The order of the
columns can be adapted to the user's requirements per drag & drop in the
overview. An entry is selected with a single mouseclick. Multiselection is possible
by selecting while holding down the Ctrl key at the same time. Doubleclicking on an
entry opens the "Edit Event" dialog.
The events are marked in color according to their priority as follows.
Critical
High
Medium
Low
Filters offer the possibility to design the presentation of the alarms in a clear layout
and to also group them for editing.
Filter settings are activated with a mouse click on a column header (checkbox).
Depending on the data type of the selected column, one of the following four filter
types is displayed:
• Tree structure
Used to select a value from the hierarchically organised EMC node structure.
• Calendar
Used to select a date.
• Selection list
For a permanently defined set of values.
• Free text
Unrestricted input of a search term (including wildcards).
The filter is enabled by clicking the checkbox (or disabled if already enabled).
Clicking outside the filter window closes the window. The filter settings for
presentation of the data set are accepted in this way.
3.1.2 Functions
The buttons in the upper right section provide fast access to functions. The
availability of functions depends on the selection or properties of a chosen alarm. If
more than one alarm is selected, the functions affect the entire selection. The "Edit"
function is an exception here – it is disabled in the case of multiselections.
The functions are described separately below (in the table on the following page).
