You can use the Reset Filter option to set an Alarms List or the Alarm Banner to disregard any filtering that you have applied using the Filter window. This returns the List or Banner’s filtering to its original state—the List or Banner is reset to show the same type of alarm data as when it was first displayed. This might include each of the alarms to which your User Account and ViewX or Virtual ViewX client have access. However, if your User Account is configured to use a default Alarm Filter String, the original filter state of the Alarms List or Alarm Banner will also take into account any filter restrictions specified by that Alarm Filter String. A system administrator or high-level engineer typically configures any such default filters when a User Account is added to Geo SCADA Expert (see Specify a Default Alarm Filter).
If your User Account allows you to filter entries in the Alarm Banner, Geo SCADA Expert might be configured to automatically disregard any such filtering as soon as your User Account’s Banner Filter Timeout period is exceeded. Once this period is exceeded, Geo SCADA Expert will return the Alarm Banner’s filtering to its original state.
To manually reset the filters on an Alarms List or the Alarm Banner:
- Right-click on the Alarms List or Alarm Banner.
A context-sensitive menu is displayed. - Select the Reset Filter option.
The filtering for the Alarms List or Alarm Banner is reset—any additional filtering is removed and the original filtering reinstated.
You only use the Reset Filter option to remove any filters that you have applied using the Filter window. On some systems, custom menu options might be provided to enable you to select a pre-defined custom Alarm Banner filter from the Alarm Banner's menu. If so, typically a custom menu option will be provided to enable you to remove such filters.
