Specify the fields as follows:
| Field |
| The alarm name is the text that will
appear when the alarm occurs. It defaults to the name of the field. |

will determine whether the alarm is set or not. To choose a different
field click the 'Select' button. |
| Profile™ automatically maps the
alarm to a stream based on the alarm's field name. To allocate the
alarm to a different stream, select the stream from the popup menu.
Once an alarm has been mapped, the user can filter the alarms list
by clicking down the Inventory™ menu. |

four different categories that have different colour codes. The alarm
groups are Process (red), System (orange), Computer (yellow) and
Profile™ (blue).

the desired alarm group from the popup menu. |
| Critical Alarms trigger an email notification
as soon as the alarm occurs. Check the 'Critical Alarms' checkbox
to indicate the alarm is critical. |

cause the alarm to clear as soon as it is accepted. This is useful
for notifying the user that an event has occurred. |

the alarm from occurring. |
