Add an Additional Alarm Count to the Navigation Zone

By default, the tabs and buttons in the Navigation Zone include alarm counts for the top three alarm priorities. If required, you can add an additional alarm count that represents the fourth highest alarm priority.

To add a fourth alarm count to the Navigation Zone's tabs and buttons, you need to perform the following tasks.

Adjust the parameter [Workspace]NumberOfTopPriorities

Set the parameter [Workspace]NumberOfTopPriorities[Workspace]NumberOfTopPriorities to 4.

Change the default Navigation Zone page

The default page that the Navigation Zone is based on is not able to support the wider tabs and buttons required to display an additional alarm count. To change to the required Navigation Zone page:

1. Go to Graphics Builder.

2. Open the master page for your project. By default, this page will be called "Master_PageMenu1_HD1080" or "Master_PageMenu1_UHD4K" (depending on the resolution your project uses).

3. Locate the pane that hosts the Navigation Zone.

   For Master_PageMenu1_HD1080, the Navigation Zone pane is located here:

   

   For Master_PageMenu1_UHD4K, the Navigation Zone pane is located here:

   

4. Double-click on the pane to open the Pane Properties dialog. If the Name field does not display "Navigation", you have double-clicked on the wrong pane.

5. Enter the required page name in the pane's Default Page field.

   • For an HD1080 project, enter "PageNav4_1TabRow_HD1080".

   • For a UHD4K project, enter "PageNav4_1TabRow_UHD4K".

6. Save your changes.

Configure the display properties for the fourth alarm priority

You should confirm that a fourth alarm priority is appropriately configured in your project. For more information, see Configure Display Properties for a Fourth Alarm Priority.

Note: Alarm counts will not work if the home page specified for your navigation menu differs to the home page specified for your equipment hierarchy (as defined in the Page field for the root level of your equipment hierarchy). See "Set the home page for a workspace" in the topic Prepare the Navigation Menu.
