| Area | Marking the area where the alarm group belongs (group or subgroup). All alarm items of one PmaAlarmGroup object belong to the same area. It goes about an arbitrary string that allows to users easier filtering the set values when watching the group. It is useful first of all if more Group objects store the data to the common file (see the "Parent enabled" configurator). |
| Parent enabled | If checked, then the parent group can be set in the "Parent" configurator. |
| Parent | alarm items (PmAlarmItem objects) arise and are stored to disk in the parent group. alarm groups are displayed in the state viewer or in the history viewer also in this parent group. Filtering in the viewer according to the "Area" configurator allows to display items only of the certain alarm group in the frame of the parent group. |
