Thanks for the suggestions guys, however:
The monitoring team use the non-green page for the monitoring. This page includes all alerts, whether propagated or not. Also, I can't hide the non-production alerts, since those should be acted upon by other support teams, which will also use the non-green as their main monitor.
I'm not using the Critical view, since the alerts scripts (and the analysis.conf, using the TEXT property) generate URLs to specific expert advice for the monitoring team, so they can assign an incident to the appropriate groups. Also, as per the above, what's required is separating the alerts.
many thanks _rony

Hello there... we have here a pretty big production environments, and even bigger non-production. I've configured xymon for both, but the guys that do the actual monitoring objected to have alerts coming from non-production servers, since those are mostly non-crucial - they don't want to see any of those reds on their screens.
One way that comes to mind is using the "nopropyellow" (etc) tags on the hosts. We mix our production and test hosts on pages, but mark the test hosts not to propagate their alerts upward. Their test results appear on their own page, but not on their parent page. Also look into the "nonongreen" tag.
Note: the tags mentioned above affect the generation and display of the web pages. They do no affect alerts or the behavior of xymondboard.
