I am trying to set up my critical alarms within an alarm status table.

Right now I have both active and unacknowledged and active and acknowledged states set with a red background and white text. I'd like to make the text blink when the alarm state is active and unacknowledged but can't figure out how to do it.

I figured it out. Should have just looked at the manual first.
