Keeping the Alerts Window on Top
•
To unlock a display window and re-enable updates, choose Locked from the View
menu again.
The (Locked) indicator disappears, and the OEM updates the window the next time
new data is received.
•
Repeatedly choosing Locked from the View menu toggles the locked attribute on
and off.
Keeping the Alerts Window on Top
You can specify whether each new Alerts window created by the OEM always remains
on top. Windows with the On Top property enabled cannot be obscured by any other
window on your system.
When the OEM creates a new Alerts window, it sets the window’s On Top property
based on the Display Forms Stay On Top option setting.
•
If Display Forms Stay On Top is checked, the new window is created with its On
Top property enabled.
•
If Display Forms Stay On Top is not checked, the new window is created with its
On Top property disabled.
To override the default value and toggle the On Top property of an individual window:
•
If Stay On Top is checked on the View menu, the current window is an On Top
window. Choose Stay On Top from the View menu to disable the On Top attribute.
•
If Stay On Top is not checked on the View menu, the current window is not an On
Top window. From the View menu, choose Stay On Top to enable the On Top
attribute.
•
Repeatedly selecting Stay On Top from the View menu toggles the On Top
attribute on and off.
Refreshing Alerts Window Contents
Because the OEM Server automatically updates all display windows whenever new data
is received from a client application, there is usually no reason to perform a manual
refresh. However, if a window has been locked for some period of time, it might not
contain current data. To update the contents with the latest data, from the View menu,
choose Refresh.
Creating a New Alerts Window
To create a new Alerts window to view a different set of data:
1. From the View menu, choose New.
2. Choose Alerts Window to create a new Alerts window.
