Understanding the 'Hide from Event Chart' Toggle in Flow.

In OFS-Flow, you can toggle "Hide from Event Chart" in an alert configuration's General settings. Toggling this feature ON significantly changes how the form interacts with the operator and the system.

What happens when this is toggled ON?

  • Events Chart Visibility: The flow form and its associated data spans will be completely hidden from the Events Chart.

  • Manual Initiation: Users will be prevented from manually raising this form via the console. It will not appear in the search results when clicking the "+" button to initiate an ad-hoc form.

  • Console Interaction: Even if the form is triggered automatically by a system event (like a Job Start or Machine State change), it will not appear on the operator console for completion.

  • Data Availability: While the form is hidden from the live operational interface, the data remains accessible for reporting and auditing purposes within OFS-Analytics.

 

When should I use this?

This toggle is best used for "silent" data collection or background alerts where you want the system to record a state or metric at a specific trigger point without requiring operator input or cluttering the visual timeline of the production run.
