State Name

Enter the name of the state in the message set.

Foreground color

Select a color.

This field defines the RealTime color of attach objects, such as devices and text messages, as they appear on the easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS) dialog boxes and windows.

Typical color assignments for alarm severity levels are red for high, yellow for medium, and green for low severity. If a message state is severe enough to justify attaching a red color (Foreground color field is set to red), then the state severity should match this message state (State Severity field should be set to high). If a message state uses a color (e.g., magenta, cyan, white) that is not defined for an alarm level, it is recommended that this message state be assigned a low state severity level.

State Severity

Select the state severity option you want associated with this message. The choices are:

• low

• minor

• medium

• major

• high

• critical
