Terminology Updates in GPM Products

As part of our continuous effort to improve GPM products, we audited the terminology used in GPM Portal, GPM Plus, GPM SCADA, GPM Horizon, and other products and features, to track the terminology used across all products and create a refreshed and consistent glossary of terms.This version sees the first results of this extensive work with the implementation of terminology updates in the Alarms module, where ambiguities in the use of several terms with overlapping concepts introduced risks of user error and could make onboarding of new users difficult.
Important: This change will apply to each product when the latest version becomes available for you. Depending on your product configuration, you may see the changes in one product (for example, GPM Portal) before the others.
Consolidation of "Alarms" and "Alerts" under the common umbrella term "Alarms"

  • Alarms define a situation and a notification with a set of activation and deactivation conditions that a user must address.

  • Triggers or alarm triggers are the set of activation conditions that activate the alarm for a given plant or element. When an alarm is triggered, it appears in the Alarms table as an active alarm. You can then assign this alarm to a user for resolution until the deactivation conditions are met and the alarm is deactivated.

Improved

Commands Scheduler Supports Automatic Execution of New Schedules

The Commands Scheduler has a new Save and Apply button to automatically execute commands when you save and apply new schedules. This makes the process more user-friendly and reduces the possibility of human error. Previously, after saving a new schedule, users had to execute the command manually in order to apply the new command, which could lead to human errors when changing schedules.

Fixed

Vectorial Layout Correctly Saves Copied Items

The Vectorial Layout module correctly saves all items that you copy onto a layer. Previously, an error could cause items that did not have images to disappear from the layer.

Element Viewer Correctly Displays DataSource Components

The Element Viewer module correctly displays the values for DataSource components. Previously, an error could cause the Element Viewer to remain blank, even if they appeared correctly in the Chart Viewer module.

System Correctly Displays Data from Custom Variables

We fixed an error that could cause data from certain variables to be missing from the following modules: Element Viewer, Chart Viewer, Data Viewer, Vectorial Layout. The data now appears correctly.
