Summary Bar

In Flex Client web/desktop app, the Summary bar is located below the horizontal navigation bar, and has a series of event lamps, which provide an overview of the events in the system, grouped by category.

Re-sound notification

The audio alert ceases when the incoming events have been acknowledged and it will resume after 24 hours if a previously-acknowledged event has still not been fully processed (closed) by then.
Depending on the Client Profile, a re-sound notification consisting of the name of the unclosed event category is also displayed on the Summary bar to the left of the buzzer.

In case of multiple events, the sound and the notification will be the one for the most important (severe) event category, irrespective of any filters or sorting you may have applied to Event List.

For instructions see, Controlling the Buzzer.

Buzzer

The buzzer is the sound emitted by a client station to notify the operator of events in the Flex Client application.
If a site has multiple client stations, each one will emit its own sound.

When a new event occurs, the client station emits an audio alert that continues for as long as that event remains unprocessed (that is, unacknowledged by the operator).
If there are multiple incoming events, the buzzer continues to sound for as long as any of them remain unprocessed.
The buzzer ceases when the incoming events have been acknowledged.
The specific buzzer sound can vary depending on the type of event and is configuration-dependent.
In case of multiple events, the buzzer sound will be the one for the most important (severe) event, irrespective of any filters or sorting you may have applied to Event List.

For instructions see, Controlling the Buzzer.

Depending on the Flex window size, you can also change the height of the Summary bar. For instructions, see Reduce or Expand Summary Bar Height.
