You can modify severity and recommended action, add a custom description, and disable or reenable device alarms for the device groups, devices, or device alarms selected.
You access the display from the right-click menu in the Device Alarm Configuration view or the Navigation view in the Alarm Configuration perspective.
When you access the display from the Navigation view, all the device alarms associated with the device groups or devices selected are configured simultaneously.
When you access the display from the Device Alarm Configuration view, you can specify which device alarms associated with the device groups or devices you selected in the Navigation view to configure. You can expand the selection to view and configure device alarms by alarm type, alarm name, or by one or more devices reporting that alarm.
