Alarm and Event Banner Properties - Status Bar tab

How do I open the Alarm and Event Banner Properties dialog box?
Properties are modified during design time. To open the
Alarm and Event Banner Properties
 dialog box:
  1. Open FactoryTalk View Studio.
  2. Add an Alarm and Event Banner object to a display.
  3. Right-click the Alarm and Event Banner object, and then click
    Properties
    .
To change the contents of the status bar configure the settings in the
Status Bar
 tab of the
Alarm and Event Banner Properties
 dialog box.
There are two areas on the Status Bar that can be customized:
  • Information panel. This panel is on the left side of the status bar. It contains the status indicators that provides information about the connection status to the servers, the alarm queue, the total number of alarms in different status, and the number of faults for alarms.
  • Buttons responses. These buttons are on the right side of the status bar. Buttons can be used to acknowledge or shelve alarms or to control the state of the alarm bell.
For both areas you can control whether the item is included in the status bar display, configure a custom tooltip, or change their order of display.
TIP:
To change the height and font used in the Status Bar, click the
General
 tab, and then make your changes in the
Status Bar
 area.
