Hi,

Is there a way to bind a property to the number of alarms in a tag folder? I know there is isAlarmActive and isAlarmActive Filterd, but those functions seems to only returns boolean.

Thank you!

Not currently without extra scripting work, but there are some new features related to this that will be available in Ignition 8.3, our next major version, releasing early next year.

Thanks for the response! I'm able to filter tags in my alarm status table. Could I bind to the number of rows of the alarm status table to get the count?
