Alerting indication for a new alarm

I am trying to create a generic indication on a graphic screen when there is a new unack alarm. Is there a tag or function that can generate a true/false result for a new unack alarm?

Using the scripting function system.alert.queryAlertStatus this can be achieved. You can find more information on this function in the user manual

Additionally, you can look at an example in the project templates.
