Set priority ranges and column options for alarm records

You can use alarm priority ranges to filter alarms. The AlarmApp can show alarms within a given range with a different text and background color.

The AlarmApp supports four alarm ranges defined by three breakpoints:

1 < breakpoint 1 < breakpoint 2 < breakpoint 3 < 999

You can also set the run-time behavior of the alarm display

To set priority ranges for alarm records

1. Select the AlarmApp placed on a pane.

2. Select the Properties grid to show AlarmApp properties.

3. Select the ellipsis button shown at the right of the Configuration field.

4. Click the Colors tab. The Colors page appears.

5. In the From Pri column in the list at the right, locate the break point you want to change. These are values except 1 or 999.

6. Select the value and enter a new value. The new value must fall in the range between the previous breakpoint and the next breakpoint.

7. In the ApplyTo column, select whether the information you entered should apply to the entire row or just the affected column. To apply the settings to only the column for current alarms, select Priority. If the AlarmApp is configured for historical alarms, you can choose between Priority and Severity if you want the settings to apply only to the affected column.

   

8. Press Enter. All values and settings in the list are updated.

9. Click OK.
