Alarm Log

Sorting the Log

To sort the log, click the column headings. See figure 13–1.
A note on sorting
Items are sorted by their textual appearance. For example, if your Microsoft Windows is set to
display dates as "month-day-year", one obtains a listing such as in figure 13–2, below. This may
not be what you want. You can use the simple workaround in the next procedure to obtain a
chronological list.

Sorting the Action Time column might not list items in the chronological order that you expect. Log
Honeywell recommends that the Short Date Style in Microsoft Windows be set to
"yyyy/mm/dd" or similar date input (such as "yy-mm-dd"). What matters most is that a
sequence of "year, month, day" be used in the format, and that months be expressed in
numbers, not text. The double "m" and "d" ensure that single digits are padded with
zeroes. For example, June 7, 2009 should be expressed as 2009/06/07.

Selecting Log Items

Use Windows' mouse and keyboard techniques to select/deselect log items. For example:
To select more than one user or site, press the Ctrl or Shift keys while clicking the names in the
lists.
To select all the alarms in the list, press the Ctrl+a keys. You can also right-click the list to click
"Select All", or you can select the first alarm in the list, press the Shift key; then click the last
alarm in the list.
