Use the Alarm Overrides tab in the almSevOverride Row Details dialog box to configure alterations to the alarm. You can override the alarm severity for all alarm types. Alarm category, group and station overrides only apply to System alarms. Each of these overrides is individually enabled or disabled.
The system ignores alarm overrides if a system alarm is re-routed.
