Ad-hoc and Scheduled
Alarm Reports with email delivery
Alarm Reports are summary reports of the
alarms that occurred for one or more monitored points over a
user-specified period of time. The Alarm Report output is a readable
report or a CSV output that can be saved to a file and/or emailed to one or
more recipients.
An Alarm Report includes a summary of each
item that transitioned into alarm or returned to normal from an alarm
condition within the report period. This report information includes:
-
the tag/row that went into alarm
-
the alarm message
-
the start and end time of the alarm
condition
-
the acknowledge time of the alarm (if
it was acknowledged)
-
the server name, tag name, description,
tag group, and alarm UID
You can easily schedule the automatic
generation of Alarm Reports as "Alarm Report Scheduled Tasks". These
scheduled tasks have configurable report start and end times, included
Tag Groups, optional output file and optional email recipients. For
email recipients, the report can be included in the email message or as
an attachment to the email.

Integrated and Dynamic
Contact List for notification recipients
The TopView Contact List allows you to
organize the email addresses, phone numbers, and pager ID of TopView
recipients as 'Contacts'. A notification recipient entered as a Contact
field
(e.g. \Plant Manager\emailWork) is retrieved when an alarm occurs and
notification is sent; if TopView is running, you can make changes to a
Contact's field values (email, phone, pager ID) and the changes will
take effect when the next notification message is sent.

Lock-down mode for
TopView Remote Viewer
The TopView
Remote Viewer (desktop)
is used to remotely monitor and acknowledge alarms from anywhere on your
network. The Remote Viewer is often used in Control Rooms or other
operator stations for alarm monitoring and management.
Once you have configured the Remote
Viewer connection and options, you can now "lock-down" the configuration
(with optional lock-down password) so that Remote Viewer users can use
the application but cannot change the settings. In addition, you can
prevent the user from exiting the Remote Viewer application unless the
correct lock-down password is entered.
