7.2 GUI Elements
The Alerts View is composed of the following GUI elements:
• a toolbar, with a few buttons that allow you to configure and manage the events that you
will be alerted on.
• an alerts table, which takes most of the space in the view. Here is where the alerts are
displayed.
• an alert viewer at the bottom of the window, which displays information about the
selected alert. It is made up of two sections: the Alert Details pane, where information
from the Isode Events Catalogue is shown, and the Alert Status pane, where information
about the selected alert is shown.
• a status bar at the bottom of the view.
Like all other MConsole views, the Alerts View has an icon. The icon starts as a green
light. When new events are added, as they are unacknowledged, the icon changes into a
red light. Once all alert events have been acknowledged, it changes back to a green light.
New Alerts are added to the Alerts Table are initially unacknowledged. Unacknowledged
alerts are shown in a bold font. Acknowledged alerts are shown in normal font. Only when
the administrator acknowledges the alert does the font change from bold to normal.
