In my plugin integration, I have a list of alarms (triggered by audio) similar to the alarm list in Alarm Manager Tab in SC. The idea is to right-click on an alarm from our plugin list and from available options choose “see in Alarm Manager”. So the smart client should switch workspace to Alarm Manager and display details of the chosen alarm.
It should look like this:
I found that SCWorkSpace sample shows how to switch workspace, but is it possible to open the details of the chosen alarm automatically? I will have alarm Id from my list.
I want to prevent the search for this alarm again in Alarm Manager.
Unfortunately there is no message that you can use to have the Smart Client Alarm List mark or choose an Alarm Line. As it is today only the user can pick the line manually.
This is a feature that has been requested before, and it is a feature on our wish-list for future enhancements development work. I cannot presently say when or even if it will be prioritized.
Good news.
In MIP SDK 2020R3 a new enhancement has been developed.
Alarm Plugin has been extended with functionality to allow other plugins to select a specific alarm. A plugin can now send a message containing the id of the alarm and the id of the window containing the alarm plugin. The plugin in the given window will then select the corresponding alarm. If the id of the window is null, all windows with the alarm plugin will select the corresponding alarm.
