Using the collapsible side panel of the Alarm Console

For each alarm tab, you can open a side panel in the Alarm Console showing the real-time value and history of a selected alarm.

You can open the side panel of an alarm tab in three ways:

• Right-click an alarm, and select Show side panel.

• Select Show side panel in the Alarm Console settings menu. See Alarm Console settings.

• Double-click an alarm in an alarm tab, if the Alarm double-click action user setting is set to Open side panel. See Alarm Console settings.

In the side panel:

• The top section contains the name of the element in alarm and an overview of its alarm state in the last twenty-four hours. Click this section to open the element card.

• Below this is the parameter section, which contains the current value of the parameter and an overview of the parameter state in the last twenty-four hours. If the parameter in alarm is trended, click this section to see the trend graph.

• The bottom section displays more information about the alarms in the alarm tree.

You can hide the side panel in three ways:

• Right-click an alarm, and select Hide side panel.

• Clear the selection from Show side panel in the Alarm Console settings menu. See Alarm Console settings.

• Double-click an alarm in the alarm tab, if the Alarm double-click action user setting is set to Open side panel. See Alarm Console settings.

Note

The setting that controls whether the side panel is shown or hidden is a tab setting. This means that you can show the side panel in one tab and hide it in another. It is also a user setting that is remembered across sessions.
