About the Alarm and Event Log Viewer at runtime
At runtime, the Alarm and Event Log Viewer queries the alarm history database for the information specified in the initial filter. The event list populates incrementally as the alarm and event information is read from the alarm database. When a filter is not applied, all the alarm and event information is returned and displayed in the event list.
Initially, the event list displays the alarm and event information sorted by time. If the details pane is visible, it displays detailed information about the first entry in the event list.
The Alarm and Event Log Viewer does not automatically update the event list with data written to the alarm history database since the last database query.
TIP:
To display user-defined strings in multiple languages at runtime, configure the application to support language switching in FactoryTalk View Studio at design time.
