Scroll automatically to new alarms

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

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