Keeping Display Windows on Top

Display Forms Stay On Top check box.
All subsequent display windows are created without the On Top attribute set.

Automatically Closing Max Alerts Windows as They Are Used
The OEM Server displays a Max Alerts window in response to a request from a
framework adapter or if you choose Max Alerts from an OEM window menu. The Max
Alerts window contains a list of all objects in the OEM database whose state is equal to
the highest state of any object in the database. For example, if the highest state of any
object in the OEM’s database is 7, a Max Alerts window contains a list of all objects
whose state is 7.
When you select an object in a Max Alerts window, the OEM sends a Max Alert
command to the client application that reported that object. You can specify whether the
OEM should close the Max Alerts window once you have selected an object or whether
the window should remain open so that you can choose other objects.
To specify whether Max Alerts windows are closed once they are used:
