Description

The alarm journal table provides a built-in view to explore alarm history that has been stored in an alarm journal. If you only have one alarm journal specified on your Gateway, then you do not need to specify the journal name. If you have more than one specified, then you need to provide the name of the journal you'd like to query.

The journal table shows the alarm history that is found between the Start Date and End Date properties. When you first put an alarm journal table on a window, these properties will be set to show the most recent few hours of journal history. Note that without further configuration, the journal table will always show the few hours before it was created. To properly configure an alarm journal table,please bind its start and end date properties to something what will update, such as the Date Range component or expressions involving the time now(). This way, you can configure it so that operators can choose the time to display, or have dates will be update automatically to have it poll.

To change the columns that are displayed, the order of the columns, and/or the column width, put the Designer into preview mode. Then right-click on the table header to show/hide columns. Click and drag to re-order columns, and drag the margins of the columns to resize their width. No further action is necessary - the column configuration will remain in place after the window is saved.

Additional examples of configuring the Alarm Journal Table can be found on the Alarm Journal Table Component page.

Scripting

Scripting Functions

.print(fitWidth, headerFormat, footerFormat, showDialog, landscape)

Description

This specialized print function will paginate the table onto multiple pages.This function accepts keyword-style invocation.

Keyword Args

String headerFormat - A string to use as the table's page header. The substring "{0}" will be replaced with the current page number. (default = None) [optional]

String footerFormat - A string to use as the table's page footer. The substring "{0}" will be replaced with the current page number. (default = "Page {0}") [optional]

boolean showDialog - Whether or not the print dialog should be shown to the user. Default is true. [optional]

boolean landscape - Used to specify portrait (0) or landscape (1) mode. Default is portrait (0). [optional]

Return

boolean - True if the print job was successful.

Event Handlers

focus

focusGained

This event occurs when a component that can receive input, such as a text box, receives the input focus. This usually occurs when a user clicks on the component or tabs over to it.

.source	The component that fired this event.
.oppositeComponent	The other component involved in this focus change. That is, the component that lost focus in order for this one to gain it, or vise versa.

focusLost

This event occurs when a component that had the input focus lost it to another component.

.source	The component that fired this event
.oppositeComponent	The other component involved in this focus change. That is, the component that lost focus in order for this one to gain it, or vise versa.

key

keyPressed

An integer that indicates whether the state was changed to "Selected" (on) or "Deselected" (off). Compare this to the event object's constants to determine what the new state is.
