Viewing Activity Messages
To view older messages in the monitoring
window, click
[Browse Offline] , and then use
the scroll-bar on the right (click the up or down
arrows, or slowly drag the control bar in the
middle).
Click
[Return to Real-Time Mode] to view the
newest events as they occur. (These will
appear at the top of the monitoring window.)
For longer messages, use the horizontal scroll-
bar (bottom-right) to view the end or beginning
of the desired message(s).
If you wish to print activity messages, refer to
"Reporting on System & Personnel Activity.
When alarms occur, ensure they are not ignored. Be
sure to dispatch someone to deal with any
conditions that require attention.
Note: Sounds may be associated with alarm
messages. (The default for alarms that require
resolution is your PC's "exclamation" sound--as set
through the Windows control-panel.)
To have unacknowledged alarms appear in
a separate window at the top for a specific
operator:
1) Ensure the specific operator is set for "Show
Alarm Window".

window, ensure "Show Alarm Window" is NOT
selected on the form for the specific operator.
