Allows the system, by default, to auto-adjust the position of the alarm windows on the monitors. When a new alarm popup is opened, the system will automatically reposition and adjust the size of the open alarm windows on the monitors. You can define a monitor order (for systems with multiple monitors), where when the limit of windows open on one monitor is reached, the system will continue to open alarms on the next monitor. The window positioning layout can be defined individually for each monitor, as well as the limit on how many alarm windows will be opened on each monitor.
You must configure the order of monitors through the registration list:
In the image above, the following order was configured: the first 4 pop-ups will appear on monitor number 2 and the other 4 will be shown on monitor number 1. In this case, if 9 pop-ups appear, the oldest one will be closed, keeping only the last 8.
Click the Add button to add a new monitor configuration. Click Modify to change a monitor's settings and Delete to delete this monitor's record and remove it from the alarm window rotation.
•Monitor: Select the number of the monitor that will receive the alarms.
•Total alarms: Select the maximum number of alarm windows this monitor can display.
•Window positioning
oAuto: Select automatic so that the system automatically arranges the position of the alarms, according to the configured Total Alarms.
oFixo: Select Fixed to manually configure the desired layout. Check out the Layout Editor topic to learn how to modify the layout.
•Sort Order
oNew alarm first: In the hypothetical case that we have alarm A1 and A2 on the screen, a new alarm would take the place of A1. We would then have A1 (new alarm), A2 and A3.
oNew alarm last: In the hypothetical case where we have alarm A1 and A2 on the screen, a new alarm would be A3. We would then have A1, A2 and A3(new alarm).
•Do not reposition window for repeated events: If the same alarm is triggered multiple times, the pop-up that is already open on the screen, referring to this alarm, will not be repositioned, otherwise, the window will be moved to the first or last position in the list of alarms (According to with the ordering configuration, described previously).
•Cancel automatic repositioning for windows moved by the user: Windows that are moved by the user will be removed from the alarm window position manager and will no longer be repositioned when alarms are opened or closed.
