Hey Everyone,

There’s a column in the alarm journal called “Label.” There’s no column in the alarm journal for this. Does anybody know how this value is extracted?

Label is stored in the event data table (if your journal configuration is set to store it); by default, the alarm journal doesn’t store ‘static’ configuration, so unless you have a binding on the label property (or have configured your journal to store static config) you won’t see it in the journal.
