Filters window
This window displays the properties you can use to include or exclude alarms from the alarm console. This filter action only
affects which alarms display in the alarm console; it cannot be used to edit an alarm record or perform alarm maintenance.
To access it, click Filter in the bottom of the Alarm Console Window or in the top right-hand corner. If you set the Filter on, The Filter button turns to red. To select multiple enums, use ctrl+click.
NOTE: If you are filtering on a field that uses a wildcard (
Source, Alarm Class or User), make sure to put the percent character (%) at both ends of the text string, otherwise, the filter does not work.

| Alarm Class | List, console column, or field or %alarmClass% on a report. | Specifies or returns the alarm routing option for the component. |
| Priority [on-call contact] | 1–255 for each transition, default: 255; %priority% on a report | Specifies the order in which the OnCallService sends alarm notifications to the OnCallContact. Colors graphically identify alarm priority levels. You set up Priority levels using the alarm options window. The contact
with the lowest number (highest priority) receives notification first. An alarm that is not acknowledged within the designated
time is forwarded to the next contact in the list.
NOTE: Contacts may share the same Priority number. The OnCallService sends an identical notification to all contacts that have the same priority number

|
| Alarm Transition | text | Shows the initial source state that caused the alarm to be generated. The Alarm Transition may not be the current state of the alarm source. Once an Alarm Transition is created, it does not change for a single alarm record. For example, if the source state returned to “Normal” after an “Offnormal” status, this value remains at “Offnormal”. |
| Last Update | read-only | Displays the time the system most recently updated the alarm. |
