Hi!  
Is it possible to change Alarm Status table column names and alarm state text (Cleared, Acknowledged etc.)?

Also it was possible in previous version to change button text (Acknowledge), I could not find such possibility in the new version either.

You can change the columns by going to preview mode in the designer and right clicking on the table. I had to ask the same question. As far as changing the text on the button I am not aware of a way to do that.

Good luck!

In preview mode I can select which columns to display, but I am not able to change it’s text.

Sorry, no, you cannot change the column header text at this point.
