Alarm Dashboard - Import Alarm IDs

There are no predefined alarms when opening a new Tenant. Alarm IDs are required to create alarm types (see 'Create alarm type'. Alarm types are required to sort, weight and edit Alarms↑ (see 'Causes').

Conversely, plants have a predefined list of all possible Alarm IDs that may occur within this plant.

The Alarm ID is only automatically transferred from a plant to the Tenant once the alarm is triggered. As long as a specific alarm is not triggered, there is no Alarm ID for available for this alarm in the Tenant.
