Edit an existing filter

The Customize menu of the Menu Bar provides THREE functions that help you to define and edit filter criteria for the display of the alarm list or the alarm log: New Filter, Edit Filter and Delete Filter.

To edit an existing filter, you must have selected Active Alarms/Alarm Log or Active Events/Event Log in the Tree View in the left-hand section of the screen, and in the tree branch - the filter you wish to change.

Procedure

In the Menu Bar, select Customize® Edit Filter.
The dialogue Defining Filters for Alarm List is opened.
In the list Existing Filter Conditions, select the filter criterion you wish to change.
Under Edit Conditions, modify the filter condition and confirm with OK.
In the Save Filter as box you may save the modified filter under the same name, or create an additional filter by saving it under a new name.

The Alarm Log has the default filter Past 1day Log which may have been enabled or disabled for your application by the system design engineer. This standard filter can neither be changed nor deleted.

Note: If the filter is protected, you must have the Can Administer right to edit it. User rights are defined in the User Administration program.
