Im using Ignition 8.1. I want to add custom message/descriptions to my alarms in the alarm status table containing my tag name, description of the alarm and the condition it is in. I’ve configured my alarms in the udt, and there is no way to edit the individual alarms in the tags themselves, i saw that you can add bindings to the “Label” parameter of the alarm, but so far that hasnt really worked. Is there a way to write an expression for the strings i want to display?
I do this by adding a string parameter to the UDT. Then bind the label in the alarm in the UDT to the parameter. When you create the tag instance, fill in the parameter with the string you want displayed.
Oh that sounds great. I ended up making an Associated Data property and added an expression binding to it concatenating everything
