Open alarm status pop up

Hello Ignition Community

I have created a pop up window with an alarm status object that displays any alarm that is active and has a priority of critical. I want to make the window open automatically anytime a new alarm is shown in the alarm status object. How do I do this? Please include code snippets if the solution is scripting. I'm ashamed to admit it but I'm not much of a coder. Thanks

Is this for Perspective or Vision? The solution will differ slightly depending on the answer.

For either, create a tag that will totalize or change value when a new critical alarm is added.

The basic approach for vision would likely be to use a client tag change event script. Use the tag mentioned above and use that as the driving tag for the change event script.

For perspective, create a custom session property (or view property if you want to restrict it to a specific view) and bind the value of the property to the above mentioned tag (or if the tag is an expression tag, use the same expression in a binding on the custom property)
