Non-alarmed events in Alarm filters you will see all information events for retort A that do
not raise an alarm.
The Run log entry button in the filter dialog box is only enabled for service personnel.

select the event row in the table and tap Incident report (see Transferring Incident Report
Files in 6.2.7 File Transfer).
Event severity
There are four event severity levels and each level has a color code as shown in the following table.
6.2.5 Alarms
Peloris uses alarms to alert users when events of certain types occur. These events are mostly for
error conditions that require quick intervention, but alarms also activate for some normal conditions
that it is useful to be informed about, such as when a protocol has finished.
Severity level
Description
Color code
Information
A normal event that requires a response (e.g. a protocol
successfully completed) or an unusual event that has no
detrimental effect (e.g. a user abandoned protocol).

Warning
An error or potential error that does not stop processing, or a
request for user action. For example, an out-of-threshold
reagent used in a protocol.
Orange

abandons because there is no station available).
