You can configure custom attributes for each point alarm, allowing the ability to assign more than one job function to a point alarm and filter based on any combinations of those job functions using alarm setups.
Points to consider before you begin to enter the custom attributes:
- You can enter up to 10 custom attributes.
- Alphanumeric and special characters are supported.
- Each custom attribute can contain a single value or a comma separated set of values.
- Each custom attribute can support a maximum string length of 512 characters.
- Custom attributes are available only for point alarms.
- Alarm custom attributes are configurable using the CIMSERVER object model.Note: The CIMSERVER object model allows to configure an Alarm Custom Attribute Description for each Alarm Custom Attribute. Descriptions are not available for configuration in the user interface.
