The Alarm Summary object allows users to monitor, organize, and manage created alarms in a single tool. It can display times, names, values, and current statuses while also being able to filter alarms through Groups and Labels. Each created Alarm Summary object has Basic Properties, Appearance, and Transform options, allowing users to customize the content, look, and characteristics. For in-depth descriptions of elements and design options of an Alarm Summary object, visit Alarm Summary Information to learn more.
