Issue/Introduction

In DX UIM Operator Console (OC), when clicking a device name link in the Alarm History > Device Details, the application navigates to the Inventory view for that device but remains on the Alarms tab. In DX UIM 23.4 CU6, this tab may display alarms for multiple devices, causing confusion for the user. To see specific device details, the user must manually click the Summary tab.

  • Clicking the Device Details link in Alarm History navigates to the Inventory Alarms tab.
  • The resulting view may display a general list of alarms rather than alarms filtered only for the selected device.
  • The user must manually navigate to the Summary tab to view device-specific inventory information.

Environment

  • DX UIM 23.4 CU6

Cause

This behavior is a known limitation in DX UIM 23.4 CU6 regarding context-aware navigation from the Alarm History view.

Resolution

Fixed in release DX UIM 23.4 CU8 and higher. 

In CU8, the navigation behavior is improved. The application navigates to the Alarms tab from the Alarm Console, and now it correctly filters the list to show only alarms for the specific device clicked, providing clear context that the view has changed to display device-specific information.
