Dennis,

As you're fully aware all we want to see on our boards are devices that
need attention. We too have multiple devices that are acknowledged
either for maintenance issues or other planned outages. I'm not sure
that I would even want to display acknowledgments on the device list at
all; but it wouldn't hurt to have them sorted on the bottom of the map
either. 

Thanks,

Matt,

I 100% agree with you and have submitted this same change request 
many times over the years. This is the #1 complaint about Intermapper 
from our Network Operations Center staff. I can't tell you how many 
complaints I have taken about this.

In our Device List we see the down devices of course, but never the 
critical or alarm devices because there are dozens and dozens of 
acknowledged down devices that get sorted ahead of critical and alarm.

The whole point of acknowledging devices is that you don't want them 
to generate alerts and obscure detection of new problems, and for 
users of the RemoteAccess client the main way of becoming aware of 
new problems is via the Device List (since it isn't feasible to have 
a hundred maps open).

Acknowledged devices should be sorted to the bottom of the list. No 
doubt in my mind about that. Then if I every wanted to see them I 
would sort the list in reverse order.
