You can use any fields listed below (or a combination) to format an alarm summary display and an alarm summary device.

Format the alarm summary for an entire category of alarms by specifying field names in the Summary Format field of the Alarm Category Properties dialog box (category zero (0) being the default for all categories).

You can also use the [Alarm]DefSumFmt parameter to format the alarm summary, particularly if your alarm summary formats are to be the same.
