Hello,

I was just wondering if there was a way to change the column names in the alarm status table in perspective

for example instead of “Display Path” change the name to “Location”

Thank you,

Steph

Translation should be available soon (possibly 8.1.3) - I think that mechanism could be used to provide this.

Translation of the Alarm Tables was indeed merged into 8.1.3, and would allow for translating “Display Path” to “Location”, but it would translate “Display Path” all throughout the project. If that works for you, then great. There is no way to directly change the column names of the Alarm Tables through properties.

Awesome, I’ve been looking for a way to do this 🙂 I also want to change the Label column as well. I guess translating that could yield some unwanted results though… I can see ‘label’ being used more often than ‘display path’ in general text.  
Can we rearrange the alarm status table columns now in 8.1.3?

Nope. Baby steps.

it could be great if one can actually be able to rename the columns for display purposes
