As alarms do not have unique identities in AVEVA Enterprise SCADA, procedures are linked to alarms through a series of filters via the Filters tab in the alarmProcedure Row Edit dialog box. These filters allow you to target a single alarm, or a group of alarms, to be associated with a procedure that instructs Controllers on how to correctly respond to an alarm.

Refer to the table below for field descriptions and instructions on how to configure the editable fields.
