Add a Fourth Alarm Priority Filter to Alarm Pages

You can add a fourth-highest alarm priority filter to the following alarm pages:

• Active Alarms

• Historical Events

• Shelved Alarms.

  

To achieve this, you need to perform the following steps:

Adjust the parameter [Workspace]NumberOfTopPriorities

Set the parameter [Workspace]NumberOfTopPriorities to 4.

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.

Modify the required alarm page

1. In Graphics Builder, open the alarm page you would like to modify (in the appropriate resolution). The default page names are as follows:

   • Active Alarms - "DefaultAlarm_HD1080" or "DefaultAlarm_UHD4K".

   • Historical Events - "DefaultSoE_HD1080" or "DefaultSoE_UHD4K".

   • Shelved Alarms - "DefaultShelved_HD1080" or "DefaultShelved_UHD4K".

2. On the filter bar, move the separator and "State" button to the right to make room for a fourth priority button.

   

   Note: If you are modifying the Historical Events page, a fourth alarm button will already exist that is used to filter shelved alarms. In this case, you will need to make room for your fourth alarm priority button between the third and fourth buttons.

3. Duplicate one of the existing Item Priority Genies (for priority 1, 2 or 3), and position it in the space you have created.

4. Double-click on the duplicated Genie to display the Genie Parameters dialog.

5. Change the AsmPriority field to "4", and adjust the Tooltip text.

   

6. Save your changes.
