Add a Column to an Alarms List

If your project uses the StruxureWare or Tab Style templates (accessible via a starter project), the following alarms pages are presented using tables:

• Active Alarms
• Disabled Alarms
• Sequence of Events
• Alarm Summary.

The alarms list on each of these pages includes a default set of columns that are suited to the purpose of the page. If required, you can add columns to the lists to display additional information such as specific alarm property values or quality flags.

Note: The Hardware Alarms page includes a fixed set of columns and does not support any additional columns.

To add a column to an alarms list:

1. While in runtime, open the alarm page to which you would like to add a column.
2. Right-click within the header row of the alarms list in the location where you would like to add the column.
3. In the menu that appears, hold the mouse over the Insert Column option. A further menu will appear displaying a list of column headings.



4. From this list, select the column you would like to add. (If a column has a check mark next to it, it means it is already displayed.)

The selected column will now appear in the list of alarms in the location where the right-click occurred. If required, you can click on the column header and drag it to a different location within the table.

To remove a column from an alarms list:

• Right-click within the header row of the column you would like to remove, and select Remove Column from the menu that appears.

The arrangement of columns is saved with your user profile and is restored each time you log in.
