Alarm Format Fields

Alarm format fields define syntax you can use to customize the way alarms appear in an alarms list.

In a standard project, you would typically apply the syntax to the Alarm Format and Summary Format fields in the Alarm Category Properties (see Add an Alarm Category) to define how the alarms associated with a particular category will display (category zero (0) being the default for all categories).

In projects based on a starter project, some parameters allow you to use alarm format fields to customize an alarms list. For example, [Format]FormatName.

The syntax associated with the alarm format fields are described in the following topics:

• Alarm Display Fields

• Alarm SOE Fields

• Alarm Summary Fields.
