Bitmaps, located to the left of the alarm type names, show the current
filter settings as follows:
A green tick indicates that alarms of this type will be shown.
A red cross shows that alarms of this type are hidden.
For hidden alarms, the level at which they are hidden is also shown:
Three stacked boxes represent the Generic level.
A single box represents the Device Type level.
NB: The generic alarm list does not display the status of the filters at
device level. An alarm with a green tick on the generic list will not
necessarily appear in the Alarm windows.
