Configure Display Properties for an Alarm Priority

Priority

The priority value (1- 255).

Display Name

Can be used to provide a meaningful representation of a priority value.

Short Name

Can be used to provide a short-form name that represents the priority value. For example, you can use this short name as a label on an alarm flag.

Comment

Any useful comment.

Show on Indicator

Specifies if the priority will be ignored or not on Alarm Indicator. Default is TRUE (priority is not ignored). If this value is FALSE, Alarm Indicator will ignore this priority and take the next prioritized alarms. For example, if there are two alarms raised with priority 3 and 4 in the same graphic object, and priority 3 has Show on Indicator set to FALSE, the alarm border will ignore alarms set to priority 3 and display alarm border using priority 4 color codes.

When this value is set to FALSE, it will not be included in the alarm counts on any alarm equipment tree views or navigation areas.

Note: You still need to configure correct color codes on color properties even if "Show on Indicator" value is set to FALSE as these colors are used when there is server – client property mismatch caused by alarm server reloading. For example, when that field on server side configuration has been changed from TRUE to FALSE on server side only by reloading, these colors may appear on display client’s alarm borders even if client configuration has that field set to FALSE. As this situation indicates configuration mismatch, operators should get updated projects from engineers and restart the client.

UnAck On Foreground Color

Specifies the foreground color to display when an alarm of this priority is in an ON state and unacknowledged.

UnAck On Background Color

Specifies the background color to display when an alarm of this priority is in an ON state and unacknowledged.

Ack On Foreground Color

Specifies the foreground color to display when an alarm of this priority is in an ON state and acknowledged.

Ack On Background Color

Specifies the background color to display when an alarm of this priority is in an ON state and acknowledged.

UnAck Off Foreground Color

Specifies the foreground color to display when an alarm of this priority is in an OFF state and still unacknowledged.

UnAck Off Background Color

Specifies the background color to display when an alarm of this priority is in an OFF state and still unacknowledged.

Library Name

The name of library to which the associated Genies belong (see below).

Genie Name

The name of a Genie that you want to use as a visual representation of this priority. This allows the Genie to be used as an alarm flag (see Use Alarm Indicators).

Small Genie Name

The name of a small Genie that you want to use as a visual representation of this priority. This allows the Genie to be used as a small icon that indicates alarm priority. For example, it can be used for:

• Priority And State symbols in an alarms list (see Create Priority and State Symbols for an Alarms List).

• The alarm counts on a tree-view (see Add a Tree View to a Page).

• The alarm counts in the Navigation Zone (see Navigation Zone).

Project

The project in which the alarm priority is included.
