Hello. I want to show/hide a shape when the alarm state of a parameter is in a certain condition. In the DM help i found this:
My shape data:
Unfortunately it doen't work and the shape isn't shown. Maybe my syntax is wrong?!
Thanks for help!
Hi Stephan,
In this case you could use Extended conditional shape manipulation actions (you could use either Show or Hide shape data)
For example, if you would like to show a shape pointing to an element when the alarm severity of that element is higher than Minor, you could proceed as follows:
Element: TEST_ELEMENT_01
Show: <A>-A|Element:TEST_ELEMENT_01|ALARMLEVEL|>MINOR
Hi Stephan, the option “ALARMLEVEL” works indeed on view, service or element level (not on parameter level). In this case you make the condition based on the parameter value instead of the severity. For example, if I know that my parameter will cause a critical alarm when is set to 5, I could use the following condition:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<A>-A|Element:TEST_ELEMENT_01|Parameter:101|==5
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please keep in mind that you can add multiple conditions so you can cover multiple severities.
Hi Miguel,
first thanks for your answer.
In your case the shape is been linked to an Element, but I want to link it the alarm status of an Parameter.
Use Case:
I visualized a switch and its operational statuses. Around it I’d like to have another shape. I want it to only appear when the alarm state of a certain parameter (e.g. optical power) occurs.
