Advanced Search

The Advanced Search feature gives you a quick and easy way to search for existing critical alarms. Advanced Searches return any result that match your selected criteria. The results can be printed as a PDF document or as an Excel spreadsheet. In Critical Alarm Automation, an Advanced Search can also be set up as a Saved Action, allowing you to easily run the search again in the future. Saved Actions can also be set up to automatically generate and email the results to multiple email addresses on a regular basis.
