Selecting an alarm event for Alarm Management

When you click the Event Preview window, a layout opens that has the relevant camera's view. The layout is selected automatically with the following algorithm:

1. The system searches for the layouts that contain the selected alarm event and are available for the current user.
2. The system chooses the layout with the minimum number of cells to display the selected video camera.
3. If the required layout does not yet exist, the system creates a new layout with a single video camera.
4. The system switches to the selected layout.
5. The video camera becomes active in the selected layout. The Surveillance window is expanded by one step. It switches to the Alarm Management mode (if you have selected an active alarm) or to the Archive mode (if you have selected a processed or a missed alarm event).
