Sorting Alarms by Column
Columns can be sorted by clicking directly on any of the column names. Clicking on a
column name sorts the list in ascending or descending order. Figure 155 shows the alarms
sorted by raised time (
2
). The Raised Time column is darkened and contains a
<
icon to
show that the devices are sorted by the raised alarm time in ascending order.
Hovering over the right side of a column name reveals a pull-down arrow that, when
clicked, accesses the advanced column sorting menu. Use this menu to sort columns in
ascending or descending order.
Sorting Alarms by Group
Alarms can be sorted in groups using the Group By menu (see figure 155,
1
).

Figure 155. Grouping Alarms
The following grouping options (
1
) are available.
• None — Removes group sorting.
•
Severity
— Groups the alarms by critical severity and warning severity.
•
Type — Groups the alarms by their description (type).
• Device — Groups the alarms by device ID. In other words, this option links each alarm
to the device it originates from.
• Controller — Groups the alarms by system controller. When a VN-Matrix system
contains more than one system controller, this option links alarms to each system
controller.
•
Expand All
— Reveals all alarms. The alarms display under the appropriate group
name.
•
Collapse All — Hides all alarms. Only the group names are displayed on the page.
NOTES:
• After selecting a grouping option, groups can be further sorted using column sorting
(see Sorting Devices by Column on page 41). Figure 155 shows the alarms
sorted by raised time in ascending order (
2
).
• Grouped alarms are expanded and collapsed by clicking on the square icon
located next to the group name (
3
).
