Id like to isolate some alarms that will only show on a specific alarm journal, but will not show on the default alarm status table. Any suggestion?

Advanced Thanks!

You’ll have to put up some sort of filter for both of the tables

Make separate alarm journals with appropriate filters. Select the appropriate journal for each table.

i want to disregard those new alarms on alarm status table, thinking about the opposite of a filter.

Thanks sir, for the comment, i see, ill try that, but is there any way to disregard those alarms in a alarm status table without using a filter? I’m thinking about the opposite of a filter, sample if these alarms with _status_ on their display path will not show in alarm status table.

btw sir, thanks again for the suggestion.

here’s the sample idea i want to do.

opposite of a filter is just a filter on the other things xd

on one table: if status == true: return true;  
on the other: if status != true: return true;
