Hi all,

I’m using the Perspective Alarm Status Table on Ignition [8.3.4] and need to show a progress bar while the table loads its alarms. I’d like to toggle the progress bar’s display based on whether the table has data, without running a separate `system.alarm.queryStatus` call or polling with `now()`.

According to the docs, setting `props.filters.active.results.enabled = true` should write the table’s current filtered data to `props.filters.active.results.data`. I’ve enabled it, but `data` always stays empty (`[]`), even though the table is clearly showing active alarms.  
What i have done:

- Set `filters.active.results.enabled` to `true`
- Checked in Preview mode and in a live session
- Bound a Label to `filters.active.results.data`, which displays `[]` while the table shows alarm rows

I need to do the same functionality of showing progress bar while loading data in Alarm Journal table too.

Heed the warning in the user manual

> enabled: Enable filtering results to be written back to props. Value is a boolean. Note: Enabling this property may cause a performance decline

I would personally never turn this on. I did once before that warning was there, and it caused significant issues until I worked out it was that causing it.
