Welcome to the ClearSCADA Guide to Lists. This guide provides reference information about the various aspects of List operation and configuration.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for:
- Operators and engineers that need to use Lists
- System administrators that need to set up the Lists’ preferences or create ‘custom’ Lists.
Document Scope
This guide explains the types of List that are provided with ClearSCADA, and includes information about:
- Accessing and using the features associated with those Lists
- Setting up the preferences for the Lists.
ClearSCADA is capable of displaying a wide range of information in List form, typically:
- Alarms (see Alarms Lists in the ClearSCADA Guide to Alarms)
- Events(see Events Lists)
- Database Items (see Queries Lists)
- Historic Values (see Historic Lists)
- Configuration Changes (see Configuration Changes Auditing in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- Alarm Summary (see Alarm Summary in the ClearSCADA Guide to Alarms).
For example
For more information, see the topics that are listed in the gray footer section at the bottom of this topic. Select the relevant entry to display the topic that you require.
System administrators or high-level engineers that are setting up the system should see the following section:
In addition to the above, be aware that engineers with the relevant permissions can also optionally configure Custom Lists. Like a standard Queries List, a Custom List uses an SQL query to determine the information that is included in the List. Custom Lists are useful if you want to display information that is not available in any of the standard Queries Lists, or if you regularly want to display a List that is filtered and/or sorted differently.
