Trigger Label Selector

The Trigger Label Selector lists all the trigger labels defined in the Alarm Setup editor.

Select the check box for each trigger label whose alarm you want to show in the alarm list, alarm banner, or alarm status list object, or that you want an alarm button to act on.

FactoryTalk View Machine Edition 5.00.00 and later supports alarm triggers in multiple languages. When you create an alarm trigger, its name is in the application's current language. When a graphic object such as the alarm list filters alarms by the trigger name, the Trigger Label Selector shows the trigger name in the application's default language. If the trigger name has not been set up in the default language, a question mark (?) appears instead of the trigger name. To correct the display, import the trigger labels for the default language.

If you change the default language, you must re-specify the trigger labels for each of the graphic objects that are filtering triggers, using the trigger label names in the new default language.
