Is there a way to filter the alarm status table where it will display something like “Tag 1” and NOT display “Tag 10”? It would be nice if we could use regular expressions!

It is little tricky issue and depends how your entire source path is, Try to filter on display name if you have saved in same manner “\*Tag “+{ID}+” \*”. (Make sure that we ask for filtering with matching string, space after you pass ID parameter).

@breynolds

Just wondering if you ever found a way to have a NOT option in the source filtering.

Also, wondering if you have an option to add multiply source filters, do you just separate by" ,"?

It’s been a while, but I believe I did what Bhumi suggested.

FYI you can also use the filterAlarm extension function to filter your alarms
