Set Up Event and Alarm Priorities

Set up event and alarm priorities in the Event Policies module.

1. Go to Configuration > Event Policies.

2. The Event Policies module allows the operator to specify the following options for each available event log code:

   • Treat the log code as an alarm or an event

   • Whether to save the log code to the database

   • Event priority

   • Sound and color associated with the event

   • The Applicability of the event

3. Select Event Policy.

4. Make changes to the policy as appropriate:

   • To cause events of this type to be recorded as alarms and displayed in the Alarms module, select Is alarm.

   • If Is alarm is enabled, Alert sound specifies the sound to be played when an alarm of this type occurs.

   • Use the Priority drop-down arrow to change the priority of the event or alarm. Positive priorities are above normal priority and negative priorities are below normal. Zero is normal.

     • Caution: Is recorded should only be disabled by advanced users under the advice of DMP technical support.

5. Press Save and Close.
