Running an Activity Reports Search - Events & Exceptions

Applies to: Monitored systems enrolled in the DataSource Enrollment tier

The Activity Report Search panel generates alarm and test activity results for events and exceptions that occur at your site, outside of a site's normal daily activities. There are two types of activity reports that can be created;  Activity Events and Activity Exceptions. Generating the Activity Events report populates various alarm & test activities that occur at your site, and the Alarm Activity Exception report renders activities that occur outside of normal activity (e.g. notify PD, notify FD, etc.). For each report type, you would select the desired activity type to include in the results.

 * Even though both reports appear in the Alarm Activity section, you can only run one report at a time and should be treated as separate reports.

• Alarm Activity - Displays the alarm activity that has taken place at the site.   

• Test Activity - Displays the test activity that has taken place at the site. It would show sites that did not have any test signals; where no panels were tested.

• Alarm & Test Activity - Displays both the alarm & test activity that has taken place at site.  

   To access the Activity Report Search section, click Activity from the Navigation bar and select the Activity Reports tab.
