The “null” solution worked for me, too. The workflow is: - Under the ‘rowStyles’ property, for a given Activation / Ack combination, identify the alarm priority you want to reference to a style. - Click the arrow to open up that priority’s configuration. - Replace the hex code for ‘backgroundColor’ with “null”. - To the right of the priority name, click the plus. - Click Value. - On the newly created value, replace “key” with “classes”. - Use the dropdown selector to select the desired style. - Save the view. Close and open the view to make sure the default properties have not overwritten the style. Could this detail possibly be added to the Perspective Alarm Status Table page in the manual (link below)? Linking alarm table formatting to styles is a fairly common use case and it would be great if this information was easy to find. > **[Perspective - Alarm Status Table | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-display-palette/perspective-alarm-status-table)** > > The Alarm Status Table allows you to view currently active alarm events in the system ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/3/73e0ef5525cd9dc7cf6d0d60ec763e054193362a.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/alarm-status-table-row-styles-flashing-and-static-backgrounds-based-on-priorities/45273)._
