Is there any possibility of adding several more fields like the “display path” to the alerts configuration and allow them to be bound to another tag? Then it would be easy to get job number’s, batch numbers or other information from a database and have it displayed with active alarms in the alert summary. This additional data could also be used for filtering. (ex. to show only alerts for a specific job number)

Yeah, this has been requested a few times and should make it in before too long.
