FTView SE v7 - Alarm and Event Summary Display Filter

Hi all,

I have a network distributed FTView SE system, which has three clients, showing alarms for three different sections of plant. I have created filters so that the operators in each section can show only alarms relevant to them, but they don't ever use them. They do, however, complain about the amount of irrelevant alarms that are always there on their screen.

I can define an initial display filter for the display at server level, but that would then apply to all clients. Is there a way - presumably using VBA or a macro - to have each client set it's own display filter when the display starts? I'm OK with working out how to establish which client has called the display, and which filter I want, but I just can't find a way to make it apply that filter automatically.

Thanks!

Well, I should clearly persevere a little more with the knowledge base before posting...

It's as simple as I'm still recovering from the shock of how easy that was, given how difficult most other things involving Alarm & Event objects in FTView have proved to be

ASF,
Thanks for sharing. I know the day is coming when I'll have to tackle this and myriad other issues with Alarms & Events on our SE network system. Nice to know that at least one thing with this package is "easy".
