This topic explains how to create an alarm definition from a table or detail view.

To create an alarm definition

1. Open the view on which you want to create an alarm definition.
2. Depending on the type of view, take one of the following actions:
   • On a tabular and hybrid view, clicknext to any column name and select Create alarm.
     
     
   • On a detail view, clicknext to the field name for which you want to create the alarm definition and select Create alarm.

   To accept the default values, click Next on each dialog box and then Save the new alarm definition. We recommend specifying a unique name for the new alarm definition.
