Notifications window

Vataga.terminal has the Notifications window, which displays active and triggered alerts (signal levels) with their parameters.

Creating a Notification window

To create a new Notification window you need to:

  • Click on the bell icon in the upper right part of the terminal workspace window header::
toggle_notifications_in_header
  • select the Notifications item::
create_window_of_notifications

The newly created Notifications window will be located inside the terminal workspace next to the last selected active window:

window_notifications_tabheader

You can create multiple Notification windows. By default, windows will be assigned names Notification N, where N is the ordinal number of the created window.

Renaming the Notifications windows is also possible. To do so, follow these steps:

  • right-click on the window header;
  • select the Rename item:
rename_window_notifications
  • An input field will be activated. Use it to enter a new name for the window.

The Notifications window can be attached to any terminal window using the docking cross:

docking_window_notification

Structure of the Notifications window

The window structure provides for the division of alert information display into tabs:

  • Active
  • Triggered
TabDescription
ActiveThis tab displays the list and parameters of alerts (signal levels) that are currently set in the terminal and have not yet been triggered.
TriggeredThis tab displays the list and parameters of alerts (signal levels) that have already been triggered. Alerts from the Active tab are moved to this tab after they are triggered.

The Notifications window has a table structure, which consists of columns and rows. The rows of the table contain alerts in chronological order of being set or triggered.

If necessary, you can remove (hide) a column from the table by doing the following:

  • right-click in the column header area;
  • select the columns that need to be shown/hidden in the checkbox that appears:
checkbox_actions

It is also possible to change the column width using the LMB. To do so, hover the mouse cursor over the border of the column header, hold down the LMB, and change the column width by moving the mouse left and right.

Removing alerts

It is possible to delete either a single selected alert or the entire list of alerts. This removes the alert from the window where it is set.

To remove a selected alert from the Notifications window, click on the cross at the end of the line where the alert is displayed:

delete_alert

The selected alert can also be deleted using the Delete key.

To delete the entire alert list, click the Clear button located in the upper right corner of the window:

delete_all_alerts

Drag and drop symbols into the order book and onto the chart

The terminal allows to drag and drop a symbol from the Notifications window to the Order book or Chart window to quickly open the symbol in the Order book or Chart window for which an alert was set or triggered.

To drag a symbol from the Notifications window to another, you need to:

  • hold down the left mouse button on the line with the desired symbol
  • a preview window with the ticker name will appear:
drag_and_drop

  • holding down the LMB, drag the symbol into a new window (order book or chart);
  • to complete the line movement, release the LMB over the selected window.
