Adding a new Alarms view

Add new Alarms views to access certain types of alarms, incidents, or events. For example, create views to see unacknowledged alarms, high priority alarms, or power quality incidents. You can also create views that only include certain sources, eliminating information you are not interested in seeing.

To add a new Alarms view:

1. In the Alarm application, open the View Library and navigate to the folder where you want to create the view.

   NOTE: The System Views folder is read-only. You cannot add folders or alarm views to the System Views folder.

2. (Optional) Add a new folder by clicking Add Folder at the bottom of the library panel, or by clicking Add Folder in the Options menu at the top of the library.
3. In the View Library, at the bottom of the panel, click Add View , or click Add View in the Options menu at the top of the library. This creates a new view and opens the view settings.
4. In View Settings, enter a view name, select a location where to save the view in the library, set access permissions, and select the view type.

   NOTE: A public item is visible to all users in your user group. A private item is visible to you and any user in your user group with Edit permissions on this item type. See Managing user accounts, role names, and mapping for details.

5. Adjust the filter settings for Priority, State, Sources, and Categories to customize the view if necessary.

   NOTE: Not all of these filters are available for all view types.

6. Save the view.
