Are there plans to improve alarm management within Ignition to bring it more in line with the ISA guidelines? I’m hoping to have a central management point where I can search and view all configured alarms, setpoints, documentation. Right now this seems to be entirely tag based and you have to use the browse tag configuration scripts. Is this the way forward or are there going to be major changes in this area soon? If there are any plans I may avoid building a home grown management solution for now.

I'm not an expert on 18.2, but have read through it on a few occasions. Where exactly does ignition fall short in alarms with respect to alarm management?
