Get started with the AlarmApp

The AlarmApp includes two sets of properties that can be assigned values during design time.

• Runtime and context properties shown from the Properties page of the Layout and ViewApp editors

  Two sets of properties are shown on the Properties area of the Layout and ViewApp editors after placing an AlarmApp on a layout pane. These properties are a subset of AlarmApp's Run-Time Behavior properties. These run-time properties have been assigned default values that minimize the number of configuration tasks required to get the AlarmApp running. For more information, see Configure runtime properties of the AlarmApp.

• All AlarmApp properties shown from the Configuration dialog box

  The Properties page includes an option to show the Configuration dialog. The Configuration dialog includes all AlarmApp properties that can be assigned values. For more information about configuring an AlarmApp from the Configuration dialog box, see Set AlarmApp properties.

  Related AlarmApp properties are grouped in a set of tabs shown on the Configuration dialog:

  • Alarm Mode: Type of data shown by the AlarmApp and the default alarm database query

  • Colors: Colors shown on the alarm grid, window, heading, and alarm records.

  • Column Details: Column order, width, and order of alarm records.

  • Queries and Filters: Database query for alarm records and filters saved as favorites for re-use.

  • Time Settings: Date and time format of alarm record time stamps.

  • Run-Time Behavior: Options that determine the physical appearance of the AlarmApp and options to manage alarms shown while the ViewApp is running.
