Runtime Functionalities
Filtering
When running the program, the user can select the Label Filter option in the Alarm Summary to display the alarms with a specific label. One or multiple labels may be applied at once. All active, cleared, and acknowledged alarms with the selected labels will be displayed in the Active Alarm tab of the Alarm Summary. If an active alarm has more than one label, it will be displayed when any of its labels are selected. The same can be done in the historical tab with active, cleared, acknowledged, and shelved alarms.
Acknowledging
The user can acknowledge alarms to confirm they have been seen and trigger Acknowledge actions. If a cleared alarm is acknowledged, it will move from Active Alarm to Historical Alarm. Otherwise, any alarm will stay on the page until deleted. Users can check or uncheck the boxes for Active, Cleared, Active, Ack., and Cleared, Ack to show or hide certain statuses.
Shelving
The user can shelve alarms to temporarily hide them from the Active Alarm tab. Shelve acts like a snooze button for a specified time interval that the user sets. After the interval, the alarm will unshelve and reappear in the Active Alarm tab. The user can bypass the set timer by clicking the Unshelve button in the Shelved Alarm tab.
Historical
The Historical Alarm tab creates a new record whenever an alarm status changes. The user can check a past alarm along with the status it was changed to, the time it was changed, and the value it had when it was changed. The logged alarms are filterable and deletable for better organization.
