Category display in Alarm Format (Active Alarms)

Ignatius

Hi,

i wonder if anyone has managed to figure this out. we have a client that is requiring us to display the alarm categories in plain text. we setup labels as reference to the alarm cateogories.

so in the citect ini format section we specified the following format.

[Format]

Alarm={Date,80}{Time,80}{Tag,120}{Name,120}{Desc,120}{Category,50}{Area,10}{State,10}{UserLocation,50}{Equipment,80}

However the category is displayed as the number. how can we convert that to show the labels instead? is there some form of lookup we can do?

Would using the custom fields be the solution?

    You can also create a label to refer to an alarm category. This allows you use a meaningful name to identify the category instead of a numeric value. When you define a label for an alarm category, the label's Expression field should include the numeric value associated with the category you would like the label to represent. For more information, see Defining Labels.

    How we can use LABELS in alarm categories format ?
