"Alarm", the name of the pasted alarm is "Alarm1". All other properties of the
pasted alarm remain the same as the original alarm definition.
It is possible to copy many alarms at once by highlighting all the desired
alarms in the alarm list. Press and hold the <Ctrl> key and use the mouse to
select alarm definitions one by one, or press and hold the <Shift> key and use
the mouse to select blocks of alarm definitions. When the desired alarms have
been highlighted, the alarm definitions may be copied and pasted in the usual
way.
Alarm definitions may be pasted into a project other than the original. Care
should be exercised when attempting this procedure as the alarm expression
may contain references to point names which may have different meaning in
the new project.

8-9 Alarm Reporting In Runtime
An alarm condition which occurs during runtime is brought to the attention of
the operator. There are a variety of options available in the way alarms are
reported. These options are configured in the development environment.
During runtime, there are essentially four ways of examining alarm messages:
the Alarm Acknowledge dialog box, the Current Alarm dialog box, the Alarm
History dialog box and the Alarm Object.
The Alarm Object is a graphical object which displays alarm messages in a
similar way to the alarm status viewer. Refer to chapter 4, Objects for an
explanation of how to configure an alarm object to filter alarm messages by
group name.
