Context menu in Alarm Viewer

Post by cybermen »

Hi All,
The right mouse button is often used to open contextual menus, which are pop-up menus that change depending where you click.
I removed "Clear"button from Alarm Viewer screen, but...
for "advanced" HMI operators I need to remove "Clear" from Context Menu. How to do it?
Thanks,
Ilgonis

You can only enable or disable the context menu. There is currently no way to edit it.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the answer!
In this case, maybe there is a way to assign Security Group Restrictions for "Clear" button?

Unfortunately you can not set security groups on buttons in the Alarm Viewer.

Here is my version of security groups on buttons in the Alarm Viewer.
Of course it is stupid and probably wrong way, but if Beijer Electronics support does not offer a better solution...

I recorded this in a video and can be viewed with Webex tool (freely downloadable from the internet).
Below i attached video file (Clear_1) and player setup file (atrecply).

Ok,
Here is simple way to solve problem:
1) create tag to clear alarms (in Alarm Server Settings tab);

Only one question: how to make button 1:1 as in Alarm Viewer.

In picture attached below:
Button1 made from Buttons selection (simply, but impossible to repeat as in Alarm viewer),
Button2 (1:1 as in Alarm Viewer) made from combination of rectangle & text (all ok, but button is complicated).
