Scroll automatically to new alarms

If an operator views multiple pages of alarms, new alarms may go unnoticed. You can configure the Alarm Control to scroll automatically to show new alarms. Use the AutoScroll Boolean property in scripts to scroll automatically to new alarms.

However, if the Alarm Control scrolls automatically to new alarms, it may be hard for the operator to view and analyze older alarms if new alarms occur. If the Alarm Control is frozen, it will not scroll automatically to new alarms.

1. Double-click the Alarm Control on the canvas. The Edit Animations dialog box appears.

2. Click Run-Time Behavior. The Run-Time Behavior page appears.
