NOTIFICATIONS


Notifications Screen

.1. Overview

The Notifications screen displays the current list of controller issues to be addressed. You may have no issues or you may have different issues based on your system.

If you see a blinking icon on the Status Bar, please confirm the notification on the notification screen. If you can respond to the issue, tap the description for help. After the issue has been resolved, the notification will be cleared automatically.

If you cannot resolve the issue and you would like to clear the blinking icon on the Status Bar, press CLEAR ALL, select a term you would like to clear the notification, and select OK. Then, the notification will be cleared temporarily.

See Figure 1, "Notifications Screen" .

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Warning Icon The color of the warning icon indicates its severity.
  • Red: Alert level notification

  • Gray: Cleared notification

The notifications are displayed in order with Red at the top and Gray at the bottom.
Title and Description Button Typically the title and description is shown on a button which when pressed, either displays a message or switches to the menu which can be used to fix the issue.
Clear Button The clear button displays a dialog to clear the notification for a day or for a week. When cleared, the notification changes to a gray color. It remains cleared until either the issue is fixed, the time elapses, or the notification level changes to a higher level. Some notifications are not allowed to be cleared, such as BLAL.
Restore Button The restore button displays a dialog to restore a cleared notification.
CLEAR ALL This function key displays a dialog to clear all the notifications that have a clear icon. It also resets the time for any previously cleared items.
Blinking Icon on Status Bar The color of the blinking icon indicates the highest severity of all notifications, either red, yellow, or white. Cleared notifications will not cause the blinking icon to display. The blinking icon can be controlled by the $UI_CONFIG.$BLINK_ICON system variable. This is a timer in msec in which the icon will blink. To prevent the icon from blinking, you may set it to 0.
