Filter alarms

There are several ways you can filter the alarm list, so it displays just the alarms or events that you are interested in.

  1. In the toolbar of the alarm list, click the Custom (filter applied) or No filter text. The text may be different, depending on the filter you've selected.

  2. Enter the filter criteria on any of the columns you want to filter on. For example, if you enter a user ID in the ID field, the list only displays alarms assigned to that particular user.
  3. You can combine filters, for example State name and Owner (assigned to).
  4. To return to the unfiltered alarm list, click the Clear filter button.
  5. To sort the content of the alarm list, click the title of the column.

If your alarm handling views contain map content, you can also filter the alarm list by right-clicking an element (camera, event server, or similar) on the map, then selecting Show alarms. This makes the alarm list show only alarms from the selected element.
