Setting default Alert Summary window filter options

Use the Alert Display Filter Settings tab of the System Preferences screen to customize the default settings for the filter options on your Alert Summary window.

About this task
These settings control the following default values in the Visualizer: The values you set here determine the default filter values that your Visualizer instance uses each time you open a new Alert Summary window.
  1. In the Visualizer, select File > Preferences > System Preferences.
  2. Under the Alert Display Filter Settings section, in Maximum alerts to display in alert list, enter a number that represents the maximum number of alerts to display in the Alert List table. The default setting is 100, which means that when you select an alert summary, the first 100 associated alerts display in the Alert List. You might want to change the default setting to display fewer alerts.
  3. In Minimum relationship score, enter the lowest relationship score to use as a threshold for displaying role alerts. The higher the relationship score, the fewer the number of role alerts and role alert summaries that display.
  4. In Number of days of alerts to display (including today), enter a number 1-99 that indicates the number of days of alerts to see. The number starts with the current date and counts backwards, so if you enter 1, you only see alerts generated on the current day. If you enter 10, you only see alerts for a total of 10 days – the current day and 9 days prior. The default value is 99.
  5. Optional: If your system administrator has enabled alert threshold override in the Configuration Console, the Include filtered role alerts check box displays.
    • Select the Include filtered role alerts check box to display all role alerts and role alert summaries on the Alert Summary window with relationship scores outside the minimum alert threshold defined in the role alert rule.
    • Clear the Include filtered role alerts check box to display only those role alerts and role alert summaries on the Alert Summary window with relationship scores that meet the minimum alert threshold.
  6. Click Submit. A confirmation message informs you that you must restart the Visualizer before your changes take effect.
  7. In the confirmation message, click OK.
  8. Close your Visualizer session, restart the Visualizer, and log in again.
