How can I prevent the alarms from being recorded by themselves? they only need to be registered by the user to appear in the alarm journal, but If the alarms are not registered yet, they should stay in the alarm status table And how can I update the alarms status table and the alarm journal table ? ---

Sounds like you need to filter the Alarm Journal. Also sounds like you will need some sort of binding for the filter. You have to explain more what you mean by ‘registered’? ---

If you only want to see acknowledged alarms. Click on the alarm journal \> go to your properties for it and scroll down to the filters. \> then make sure only acknowledged is checked. this will make it only show acknowledged alarms. see pic below ![ackevents](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/5/d5d06121a271d1806e0cfabc081434a45fa03201.png) ---

It is already checked and still appears the Unacknowledged alarms. ---

How will anyone acknowledge an alarm they can’t see? ---

I have two alarm tables, the status as the current alarms and journal table as a historian of alarms and where I don’t need the unacknowledge alarms is the journal table because appears automatically to this table without the permision of the user , i mean without registered by the user ---

You’ll probably have to query the journal’s main and detail tables yourself, displaying in a standard table. ---

I would use a Named Query to select from the alarm journal, joined with its details, filtering for the acknowdged entry in the details table. Bind that named query to a table’s data property. ---

But the filter from the designer can work too, I mean that helped, or what ir the difference between your way and use a filter from the designer ---

And how can I update the alarms status table and the alarm journal table ? in the script from the tables or with a button
