• One can define for each alarm which visualization field should display which content, in case the end user wishes to obtain more information on the alarm
• Multilanguage alarm help texts that give the end user more information regarding the cause, effect and removal of the currently active alarms can be provided

WEBfactory 2010 Server

• Support from Microsoft Active Directory: Windows domain users can log directly into the WEBfactory System with their Windows Credentials, user rights for the WEBfactory System can be administered centrally by means of the Active Directory
• Support from two different types of alarm logging:
• Besides a strictly event-oriented logging, such as before (each event “Alarm comes”, “Alarm goes” and “Alarm confirms” represents a database entry) there is a historical logging for each alarm (an individual entry in the database for each alarm event:  “comes”, “goes” and “confirms” are three characteristics of the same entry)
• Text-based alarm substitution values can be stored in the database and represented in the alarm
• One can establish on term if an alarm should be processed from the server and if it should be represented in the visualization of the alarm display
