Print a report with alarm information
From the alarm list, you can print a report with information about the alarm, including the alarm history
and
—if available—a still image from the time of the alarm, right-click the alarm in question and select
Print. You cannot use the print feature if you have selected multiple alarms in the alarm list.
View alarm reports

Click the Report button to open the Alarm Report window, where you can view two graphs
representing one of the following predefined reports:
o Category
o State
o Priority
o Reasons for closing
o Site
o Response time
You can filter the interval of the report, so it displays alarms over a period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30
days, 6 months, or a year.
Select the categories, states, priorities, reasons for closing, sites, or response times to display in each
of the two graphs so you can compare these side by side. The graphs display the number of alarms on
the vertical axis and the time frame on the horizontal axis.
Filter alarms
There are several ways you can filter the alarm list, so it displays just the alarms or events that you are
interested in; you can click an element on a map to see only alarms associated with that element, you
can click a predefined filter in the Filter pane, or you can define your own custom filters.

To filter the alarm list's content, in the Alarm List toolbar, click Filter to open the Filter pane
above the alarm list. Enter filter criteria on any of the columns you want to filter on. For
example, if you enter a user ID in the ID field, the list will only display alarms assigned to that
particular user.
You can combine filters (for example, for a location on a certain date). When you apply a filter, the
filter section will change background color from blue
to orange . To return to the unfiltered alarm
list, click the Clear filter link in the Alarm List toolbar.
Tip: In fields where you type your filtering criteria, typing the first few characters of the required name,
location or similar is often enough.
Having entered filtering criteria, note that the alarm list will not be updated until you move the insertion
point to another filter field.
Tip: If your alarm handling views contain map content, you can also filter the alarm list by right-clicking
an element (camera, server, or similar) on the map, then selecting Show Alarms. This will make the
alarm list show only alarms from the selected element.

To sort the alarm list's content, in the Alarm list, click the button at the top of the column.
