Configure Additional Alarm Columns

This section is for system administrators and high-level engineers.

If required, you can add extra columns to the Alarms Lists and Alarm Banner. This is useful when additional information such as point states and data from custom fields is needed in the alarm displays.

Any extra columns you create will be shown in the Alarms Lists and in the Alarm Banner on ViewX and WebX clients. (If you add or remove extra alarm columns while an Alarms List is on display, you may need to close and then re-open the List to show the column changes. Similarly, if a user is logged on to a WebX client at the time that the column changes are implemented, they will need to log off and then back on to that client in order for the Alarm Banner to show the column changes.)

To configure extra alarm columns:

1. Display the Extra Alarm Columns Window
2. Use the Extra Alarm Columns window to:
   • Add an Extra Alarm Column
   • Edit an Extra Alarm Column
   • Change the Default Order of Extra Alarm Columns
   • Remove an Extra Alarm Column.
