Hi All,
I have a question for those citect gurus out there.
I have been trying to develop an automatic alarm filtering system in citect for ages now and i just cant get it to work properly. I want the actual filter keywords to depend on the user that is logged in.
Has anyone done this? It seems a basic requirement for a HMI, but Citect's alarm system is bewildering.
My basic trouble stems from not being able to change the alarms appearing when the user has view access to an area, as i have some users that can view all areas.
To compensate for that, I have been trying to use AlarmSetQuery() function to filter based on the Custom Alarm fields, with varying results. I just cannot get it to work reliably. It does not appear to be persistent, which means you have to call it on every page you open, but when you add it to a template, it goes haywire.
