Alarm Journal Table Filtering

Looking for some clarification on the conditions required for filtering when using an Alarm Journal Table.

There seems to be a difference in logic when selecting and deselecting the Cleared Events and Acked Events filters.

When Active Events and Cleared Events are selected and Acked Events deselected, the logic seems to be in the following form:

(Active or Cleared) and not Acked

which will display the states:

  • Cleared, Unacknowledged
  • Active, Unacknowledged

Below is a screenshot showing those states in my system:

My original assumption was in that when Active Events and Cleared Events are selected and Acked Events deselected that Cleared, Acknowledged states would be displayed as well as Cleared, Unacknowledged and Active, Unacknowledged as the Cleared Events filter has been selected, similar to how Active, Unacknowledged states are displayed, as well as Active, Acknowledged and Cleared Acknowledged when Active Events and Acked Events are selected and Cleared Events deselected.

Is it possible to change the logic at all so that Cleared, Acknowledged states are shown in the Alarm Journal Table when Active Events and Cleared Events are selected and Acked Events deselected from the filters?

IIRC, this can be accomplished by right clicking on the header to make the 'acked' column visible. Then, the table can be sorted by that column.

Thank you for the reply. I believe the 'acked' column is feature of the Alarm Status Table and not the Alarm Journal Table, so unfortunately won't help in my case.
