If you wish to print activity messages, refer

to "Reporting on System & Personnel

Activity.

When alarms occur, ensure they are not

ignored. Be sure to dispatch someone to

deal with any conditions that require

attention.

Note

: Sounds may be associated with alarm

messages. (The default for alarms that

require resolution is your PC's "exclamation"

sound--as set through the Windows control-

panel.)

To have unacknowledged alarms appear in

a separate window at the top for a specific

operator:

1) Ensure the specific operator is set for "Show

Alarm Window".

Related: [Management], Operator, Operator

 Operators (People who can use this Software)

2) Ensure the 'Sort Order' and 'Filtering' is set

as desired under [Filter].

(See "Limiting...", to follow/below);

Note: To return to a single 'pane' monitoring

window, ensure "Show Alarm

Window" is NOT

selected on the form for the specific operator.

Also see "Split Screen Mode (Show Alarm

Window)", previous/above.

- Vertical Scroll-Bar (right-hand side): Allows

scrolling up and down to view older messages in

the monitoring window. (Click the up or down

arrow, or slowly drag the control bar.)

Note: This puts you into "Offline Browsing" mode, and

stops new events from entering the window. (Same

as clicking [Browse Offline].)

- Horizontal Scroll-Bar (bottom-right): Allows

scrolling to the left and right to view longer

messages. (Click the left or right arrow, or drag

and release the control bar.)

- Status Bar (bottom of screen): Shows if the

software is connected with a specific panel, and

if an update is in progress.

- [Browse Offline] / [Return to Real-Time

Mode]: Allows activating the event monitoring

window vs. scrolling inside it.

- [Show Photo]: This allows manually opening

the photo-verification window to view the last 1,

4, or 9 entrants.

For more information, refer to "Visually Verifying Users

(Photo-Verification)".

- [Filter]: Allows resorting the event / monitoring

window, limiting the list to show specific types of

messages only, and/or only messages that have

not been 'resolved' (see last 2 items below, plus

Limiting the Window to Show Only Specific

Messages".);

- (Activity Messages): Each message shows:

 A coloured bar for the message priority;

 The date and time the event occurred;

 The type of event/message;

 Details on the specific event.

 A reference number and the name of the

panel that sent the alarm;

"Session Code" messages pertain to panel

communications/update sessions being started or

completed. (For details on communications sessions

that have occurred, refer to "Panel Communications

and Updates".

"System Check" messages are for internal use, and/or

of interest only when working with your technical

support representative.

-------------------------

(coloured box): Alarms are shown with a

box/button on the left of the message (typically

red, but customizable). Clicking the button

allows entering a comment for the message

(and viewing previous comments), and/or setting

messages as being 'resolved';

: The event has been set as 'Resolved' (dealt with).

(you'll see this only if displaying resolved events);

?: A comment has been entered, but the event was

not set as 'Resolved'.

Sounds

: Custom sounds can also be associated with

different types of alarms. The default sound for

alarms that require resolution is the PC's 'exclamation'

sound (as set through the Windows control panel).
