I have a dynamic list of alarms, and I’d like to add a button that passes the alarm information to a parameter in an element. This parameter will then create a ticket:
The shapes are generated dynamically using the Children | Alarm on the group.
Is there a way to grab the alarm data and pass it to an element through a parameter? For example in an Execute | Set|TicketGenerator|999|AlarmName:[alarmname]|ConfirmationMessage=Are you sure you want to generate a ticket?
The other idea I had was to pass the alarm to an automation and then use the automation to parse the alarm and send the information to the parameter. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for any information.
As of version 10.0.2, it’s possible to use info keywords in all data items of a shape linked to an alarm, see RN24485.
With this, you can directly execute an automation script, set a parameter or set a session variable. From there, anything is possible.
You’ll probably need to disable the parent shape and enable the child shape.
You’re the best Sebastiaan, as always thanks!
Great information, thank you for that Sebastiaan answering the original question.
Follow up question – the button is nested in the “parent” group, and then the Child (of which represent alarms). However the button is not clickable. How do I make the button still clickable within the child groups?
