Milestone XProtect Central 3.7; User’s Manual
Show Latest Alarms
By default, the Alarm Overview section’s list of alarms will automatically display the latest 15
received alarms for the selected item (server, camera, etc.). This way, the alarm overview list
provides you with a good overview of the latest activity.
However, if you happen to be focusing on a particular alarm in the alarm overview list, you may
not want the list to automatically jump to the latest received alarms whenever a new alarm is
received.
You are therefore able to toggle the feature off and on by clicking the
Show Application Menu button in the top right corner of the Client
window, then selecting/clearing Show latest alarms.
Changing the States of Alarms
The way in which you are able to change the state alarms depends upon your user rights: Some
users are able to change the states of multiple alarms at a time, some users are able to change the
state of a single alarm at a time, and some users are not allowed to manage alarms at all. The last
group of users cannot change the state of any alarms.
Quickly Determining Your User Rights
To quickly determine if you are have the user rights required to be able to change multiple alarms,
simply check whether the Alarm Overview section’s Multi Change button is available:
If the button is available, you can change multiple alarms at a time. If the button is unavailable,
you can only change the state of a single alarm at a time.
Changing the State of Multiple Alarms
To change the state of multiple alarms at a time, do the
following:
1. Make sure all relevant alarms are displayed in the
Alarm Overview section’s list of alarms.
2. In the list’s leftmost “check box” column, select each
alarm for which you want to change state.
Tip: You can quickly select all displayed alarms by
selecting the Alarm Overview section’s Toggle all check
box.
3. Click the Multi Change button. This will open the Change state on alarms window:
