Category display in Alarm Format (Active Alarms)

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?

I think labels were created to help Citect engineers creating human-readable code and configuration.
I agree with you that it would be very handy sometimes to be able to convert these numbers back into text, but that is not possible because you can define multiple labels with the same numeric value.
