Open alert display via the ribbon

You can start the display of alerts via the ALERT DISPLAY command on the "Start" tab.

The "Alert display" icon has three states:

Icon	Condition
	No alerts available
	Alerts available
	New alerts available

You can quickly recognize whether new alerts have been created by this icon: If new alerts occur after the last time the alert display was called up, the icon changes to the "New alerts available" status.

If you select the "Alert display" icon, the complete alerts including date, time of detection, message, etc. are displayed in the evaluation area.

The alert display is divided into two parts. At the bottom you can select an alert definition or a category. The associated alerts are then displayed at the top. The numbers after the alert definition name show the number and date of the alerts. In the example above, 14 alerts on 13.03.2017.

By double-clicking on the name of the category, you can expand and collapse the alert definitions of this category in extensive lists.
The upper area with the alerts has the following columns:

Message	The alert definition message. If necessary, please also read the section Define an alert definition message.
