Note: Like other data tables, the Alarms table shows certain columns by default, but you may select the columns to view using standard table functions. See “Working with Tables” for more information.
• The Child Count (+) column contains the count of the number of child alarms associated with the alarm, if applicable. Click the Child Count cell to view the child alarms associated with the parent alarm. The child alarms are displayed
• The Unacknowledged column contains a bell icon () if the alarm is unacknowledged.
• The Priority column contains the priority associated with the alarm. The priority field's background is filled with the priority's associated color while the alarm is not acknowledged.
• The Alarm Time column contains the time the alarm was generated in the field. For a SCADA alarm, this is the timestamp supplied by the RTU.
• The Class column contains the alarm class associated with the alarm. The alarm classes group alarm types. For example, in the NMS product configuration, alarms generated by an NMS Advanced Distribution Management System application would be in the DMS class.
• The Category column contains the alarm category associated with the alarm. Categories are child groupings of Class. For example, an alarm generated by Fault Location Analysis, would be in the category FLA.
• The Attribute column contains the type of SCADA measurement or System alarm. An ellipsis in the Attribute cell indicates that there is more information available; if you hover over the cell, a tooltip will display all of the unique attributes.
• The Alarm Message column contains the alarm text, which are preconfigured for the alarm class/category. An ellipsis at the beginning of the alarm message indicates that there is more information available; if you hover over the cell, a tooltip will display all of the unique messages. The lines in the tooltip are the unique messages from the alarm and its child alarms. For example, if there are three child alarms and each have unique messages, the tooltip will contain four lines.
• The Phases column contains the phases applicable to the alarm.
• The Phases Present column contains the device's phases whether involved in the alarm condition or not.
