If correlation is enabled and the object has downstream correlated objects, a hyperlink to display the objects correlated to this object will be shown along with a count of affected items. See FIDO: Correlation and FIDO: Correlated item count . If suppression is enabled, a description of how many items were kept out of the report will be shown. For more information about suppression, see FIDO: Object Suppression. If 'narrow' mode is configured, mouseover of the item may show useful data. |

Alarm Sort Order
Before 2014/02/27, alarms were sorted purely by alarm start time. A recurring alarm start time was considered to be the start time of the most recent invocation.
As of 2014/02/27, the default FIDO alarm sort order is as follows.
note: Recurring alarms are sorted as if their start time were their first start time the alarm happened. Inside each priority level, alarms are sorted in descending start time order.
1) STALE tests (not to be confused with STALE alarms) are given highest priority
2) Uncommented alarms are given second highest priority and are sorted by impact.
3) Uncommented holddown alarms and given third priority
4) commented alarms are given fourth priority
5) commented holddown alarms are given fifth priority
The sort order can be toggled with the 'plain_sort' option.
