Can anyone shed some light on how to sort the Alarm Status Table in Perspective?
I’ve tried to sort by state (descending), but for some reason Active & Ack’d is listed first then Active & Unack’d, which is the opposite of what I need. If I try setting it to ascending, then all the cleared alarms show first.
I’ve also tried combinations of sorting by isAcked and isActive but cannot get the order I need. Its either Active & Unack’d alarms first with the Cleared & Unack’d second, or Active & Ack’d then Active & Unack’d.
The Alarm Status table is sorting purely alphabetically so “Active, Acknowledged” is above “Active, Unacknowledged”. This is not what is needed from folks closely monitoring alarms 24x7 as active alarms are much more important. The competing SCADA platforms usually have a way to put “Active, Acknowledged” always at the top.
I wonder if someone has hacked a custom sort somehow…
@Eugene49, thanks for sharing. One question, have you just add a new column in the alarm status table called "Sort"?
On the tag's alarm configuration, click 'plus' button to create an associated data named 'Sort', and assign a logic like on screenshot above.
On the alarm status table component's property.
You can display associated data as column by creating an item on columnAssociated and name the field accordingly, like so (Description) in my case and configure the sort property:
