Sort alarms

Sort and filter an alarm table to view the alarms in the desired order.
The default sorting orders for the alarm tables are:
  • Alarm Summary
     by Alarm State, Priority, and Event time
  • Alarm Manager
     by Active State, Inhibit State and Alarm Name
  • Alarm History
    by Event Time in descending order
Sorting alarms arranges the alarms in alphabetical order or by rank, depending on the data configuration of the column. Columns containing icons are sorted based on their defined ranking. Urgent alarms appear above High alarms. Alarm tables update dynamically as new alarms appear and alarm states change. In the Alarm Summary table, the latest In Alarm/Unacknowledged alarms appear at the top, so the order of sorted alarms changes continuously.
To sort alarms
  1. Open an alarm screen:
    • Alarm Summary
    • Alarm Manager
    • Alarm History
  2. In the alarm table, select the column heading that contains the data to sort. The column is sorted in ascending order by default. A white arrow in the column heading indicates the sorted column is the primary sort column.
  3. (optional) To reverse the sort order, select the column heading again. The direction of the arrow in the column heading indicates the sort direction. An up arrow indicates ascending order and a down arrow indicates descending order.
  4. Select additional column headings to further sort the alarms. When sorting a second column, the first column sorted becomes the secondary sort column. A gray arrow indicates a secondary sorting column.
