Hello,

I would like to know if the alarm status table has a bit that is true if an alarm is active in the table.

I know there is a system tag that lets you know if there are active alarms within the system. But since the table has specific filters I would like to know if there are any alarms active within the table not the system.

Thank you,

Stephanie

In the filterAlarms sub you can do checks for it  
I just wrote this up for a quick example of something you could do.

```auto
	if 'Active' in str(alarmEvent.get('state')):
		self.parent.getComponent('Label').text = 'Active Alarms Present'
	else:
		self.parent.getComponent('Label').text = 'No Active Alarms Present'
	
	return True
```
