Looking for a method where by a user can select an alarm in the Alarm Journal and then be redirected to related information based on the selected alarm. I don't see any PROPS that show the selected alarm content. Does anyone know how to do this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/7/b7385bbe9c6618bec7f1dbc6d42d34c87aca78f9.png) ---

Does props.selection.data have what you're after? ---

From what I can see (and this is the problem), the **Alarm Journal** in Perspective (v 8.1.30) does not have this property anywhere that I can find. I tried the syntax just in case this was an "undocumented" PROPS, but it doesn't work. Thanks for your suggestion. (BTW: The Alarm Status Table has a Selection PROPS, but for some reason this is not part of the Alarm Journal). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/a/5aa4d23020dd0cb7e518e98df43934da5009e4db.png) ---

You're right, I was looking at the status table. The journal doesn't have any selected data... That's not great 😕 I actually don't use this table though since it's not nice viewing individual alarm events; it's much better to view summarised events with all of their info in the one row like active time, ack time, cleared time, active duration, etc. which you can do with a sql query
