In Navigation bar there is an Alarm counting with below scripting code

`runScript("system.alert.queryAlertStatus(" + 
"activeAndAcked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.activeAndAcked}) + "," +
"activeAndUnacked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.activeAndUnacked}) + "," +
"clearAndAcked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.clearAndAcked}) + "," +
"clearAndUnacked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.clearAndUnacked}) +
").rowCount", 1000)`

i need to filter the alarms from specified FolderA/\*. Means i need to count only alarms which in certain folder not all of alarms in the alarmTable.Please advise

Ok here it the expression:`runScript("system.alert.queryAlertStatus(" + 
"activeAndAcked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.activeAndAcked}) + "," +
"activeAndUnacked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.activeAndUnacked}) + "," +
"clearAndAcked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.clearAndAcked}) + "," +
"clearAndUnacked=" + toInt({Root Container.Alarms.clearAndUnacked}) + "," + 
"path='FolderA/*'" +
").rowCount", 1000)`I just added a path to the system.alert.queryAlertStatus. See the [documentation for the function](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_alert_queryalertstatus.htm).
