Hi all,

I have a table with alarm hysteresis applied on some parameters and I want to show a shape only when any parameter starting with key = "firstthreecharactes"* is alarmed, if all of them are in Normal state regardless their value, the shape should not be showed.

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance!

You will want to use the Alarm shape. In your situation, your shape data will look like this: elementName/pid:firstthreecharacters*|Alarm|Show;!=Normal

Let's pick it apart ('|' characters separate the different aspects):

  • The first part is your link to the right parameter with the right wildcard.
  • The alarm option makes it so the shape is colored with the highest severity alarm color of the matching alarms.
  • The final part makes it so the shape is only shown when the highest severity state of your alarms is not equal to normal. This means that nothing will be shown if there are no alarms matching your first part.

For more information, check out the docs.
