The Operations Dashboard is the primary workspace for monitoring and managing active alarms across your equipment fleet.

Alarm Lifecycle States

Every alarm progresses through a defined lifecycle with six states:

Escalating Flag

Alarms can be marked as ESCALATING (separate from lifecycle state) when they require supervisor attention. Escalating alarms display a red "ESCALATING" badge next to the lifecycle state badge.

Delta Threshold Values

The Value column shows the current sensor reading followed by delta threshold exceedance in parentheses. Examples:

• "142 PSI (+22 PSI over critical)" — Pressure is 22 PSI above the critical threshold
• "78% (+8% over warning)" — Reading is 8% above the warning threshold
• "45°C (within safe)" — Reading is within safe operating range

This eliminates the need to mentally calculate how far a reading exceeds thresholds during high-pressure situations.

Trend References

Hover over the trend arrow in the Trend column to see explicit references:

• "↑ 15% vs last hour" — Reading increased 15% compared to one hour ago
• "↓ 8% vs baseline" — Reading decreased 8% compared to baseline average
• "↑ 22% vs 24h trend" — Reading increased 22% compared to 24-hour trend

Pattern Detection

The "Why Flagged" section in the context panel explains why each alarm was triggered using pattern detection:

• DRIFT — Gradual deviation from baseline over time
• INCONSISTENCY — Cross-sensor readings don't match expected correlations
• RECURRENCE — Same alarm keeps triggering repeatedly
• TREND — Sustained directional movement toward threshold
• SPIKE — Sudden sharp increase or decrease

Stale Data Indicators

Alarms with stale sensor data (not reporting for extended period) display:

• Clock icon next to the value
• "Last updated: 2h 15m ago" timestamp in the context panel
• "STALE" indicator in the Data Quality KPI card

Bulk Actions

Select multiple alarms using the checkboxes in the leftmost column, then use the bulk action buttons:

• Bulk Acknowledge — Acknowledge all selected alarms
• Bulk Assign — Assign all selected alarms to an operator
• Bulk Resolve — Resolve all selected alarms with a resolution form

The bulk resolve workflow prompts for:

• Resolution Reason — Dropdown with predefined options (Sensor Recalibrated, Component Replaced, False Alarm, Scheduled Maintenance, etc.)
• Notes — Free-text field for additional details
• Follow-up Task — Optional task description for future action

CSV Export

Click the Export CSV button to download all visible alarms (after filters applied) with 17 data fields:

• Alarm ID, Severity, Device Name, Device Type, Sensor Type, Current Value, Threshold Exceeded, Delta Value, Trend Direction, Trend Reference, Lifecycle State, Escalating Flag, Owner, Next Action, Pattern Type, First Triggered, Last Updated

Group View

Click the Group button to toggle grouped view. Alarms are grouped by device with collapsible headers showing:

• Device name with severity summary (e.g., "3 Critical • 5 alarms")
• Worst horizon — Longest persistence time among alarms in the group
• Suppressed count — Number of duplicate alarms hidden by storm suppression
• Owner — Highlighted in red if unassigned for critical alarms

Click the chevron icon to expand/collapse each group.
