Use the alarm list format for direct message printing

Background information

A specific format of the alarm list can be saved in order to act as the default format for message logging on the alarm printer. The characteristics of this format are defined in the Configure Columns dialogue. As a result, any settings that might be carried out in the Configure Columns dialogue at later stages can be conveniently reset to the preset default format by simply pressing the Default button of this dialogue.

Procedure

Go Customize ® Alarm List Format …. The Configure Columns dialogue appears.
Set the format of the alarm list as required.
Confirm with OK.
Now, select File ® Save Format for Alarm Printer and activate this command with a mouse click. The format set in the Configure Columns dialogue will now act as the default format for alarm printing. As a result, pressing the Default button in the Configure Columns dialogue will have the effect of reverting all format changes to the preset default format.

If no user-specific default format was set, or if the system designer has disabled the Save Format for Alarm Printer command, pressing the Default button in the Configure Columns dialogue restores the igss default format.
