Hi,

I have a problem with the alarms’ labels in Perspective 8.3.

The description of alarm is pretty long and I would like to fit it in an alarm table inside of a popup. Is there any way to wrap the text or to change the height of a column so the text will fit?

Thank You

> Alternative Alarm Status Table Styling - Use Pills for Priority and State columns Disclaimer: I haven’t tested any of this all that thoroughly yet! I had a request from a customer to change the alarm status table styles. This was a bit of fun (and headache). This requires CSS and a bit of JS injection (required for the splitting of the State values). It has a number of parts: Alarm Status Table component which contains specific rowStyles play_button Alarm Status Table - Copy JSON and Paste…

Specifically, add this into your adv. stylesheet:

```css
/* === Alarm Status Table Styles =================================================================== */

/* Allow cell text to word wrap */
.alarmStatusTable .ia_table__cell .content div {
	white-space: pre-wrap;
}

```

Is there any way to implement it but not for every Alarm table? I would like to disable it in a one certain table.

</div>

```python
/* === Alarm Status Table Styles =================================================================== */

/* Allow cell text to word wrap */
.psc-Components\/AST\/WrapCellText .alarmStatusTable .ia_table__cell .content div {
	white-space: pre-wrap;
}

```

Then add the style class `Components/AST/WrapCellText` to your AST `style.classes` prop.

In this case, I would suggest adding a blank style class into the Perspective Styles so that it is selectable within the classes dropdown. you don’t need this however for it to work, just to provide visibility

it works but now the row with each alarm occupies almost half of a table (it occupies much more than is needed). Is there any way to change the height of rows?
