Alarm Response

The Alarm Response report returns the response times for events within the period described.  Operations often use this report to track compliance with alarm action timing.  

Report Parameters

  • Customer ID - Which customer, or customers, to include in the report.  Please note, that the report server searches the database numerically if you are searching for a range.  
  • Customer Name - Which Customer Name, or Names, to locate.  This is rarely used alone and will load with the customer name values after selecting the Customer ID.
  • Dealer ID - Which dealer, or dealers, to include.
  • Branch ID - Which branch, or branches, to include.
  • Group Code - Which Group code, or codes, applied to accounts, to include.

  • User ID - filters the report results based on the user ID(s) selected.
  • Date - Range of dates to look for the items.  

  • Minimum Response (seconds) - filters out any response times less than the defined value. 
  • Include details - includes the history details of the response.
  • Only include actioned alarms in averages - filters out any alarm events that did not have actions taken.  This is often because a number of alarms that are tracked together will have the first alarm only actioned.  
  • Monitoring Status - Which accounts to include based on their state.
    • Pending - New Account not yet active.
    • Inactive - Non-monitored account that receives signals.
    • Active - Monitored Account
    • Deactivated - Non-monitored, non-logged account.

  • Group By - allows the selection between Date and Operator for grouping the results.  
  • Response Type - allows the selection of First View to First Action or Available to First Action.  
    • First View to First Action - Calculates the response time based on the alarm arrival to the operator's screen to the first action taken by the operator.
