Perspective Alarm Journal Table - Event Value formatting

Hi all,

Is there a way to apply formatting to the Event Value column in the alarm journal table in perspective?

I would like to round to 1 digit or so if possible....

I tried with adding a 'format' or 'numberFormat' property to the column and use something like "0.0" from numeral.js - but I got nowhere with it...

Many thanks
Koen

Unless there is a hidden property in the columns section I don't think there is a way from the table itself. It looks like you would need to set that at the tag level to not have so many decimals out.

I just took a peek at the docs Perspective - Alarm Journal Table | Ignition User Manual and I didn't see anything helpful. I loaded in and played with the table a little bit and couldn't find anything either. If you are storing the values this way, then you would want to see the value I suppose is the thought with no format option.

You cannot, for floating point values.

The fundamental problem is that the values column has to handle multiple value sources and cannot apply row-by-row formatting.

Thanks guys,

Shame, but moving on.

The workaround would be to use a normal table and populate it yourself from scripted alarm journal calls, then use cell render views to apply row-by-row formatting.
