Standardize
Different machines do not mean that every alarm is unique. So, some parts of the machine are similar to the parts of other machine types. For that it is important to have the feature of standardize specified alarms and inherit them to other projects, machine types, or machines.
- Create a parent project
- Define standard alarms
Create a parent project
First of all, you have to be registered and login in to our WebApp.
Them create a new project and give them a project name.
Select the languages which should be supported by our project. Selected languages can also be changed/added and deleted later by clicking on “Project Details”.
In the field “Description” you can write a multiline text to notice whatever is important for that project.
At the selection box “Parent Project” you can select the project where the project gets their standard alarms from. In case do not want the standard alarms inherited to your new project and the new project just should be place under another project, you can deactivate the inherit process.
In the last field “Additional List” you can select a list, which text is shown after the alarm text. Click for more
Define standard alarms
When you create an alarm you have to insert an “Alarm Name” and a “Description”. The other field are optional.
On the left side of the table is a checkbox. If this checkbox is clicked this alarm texts in all languages and the attached document in all languages will be inherited to the child projects in case that the option for reloading standard alarms is activated.
So, in that example, the alarm text and the attached documentation of Alarm number 0, 2, 3, 4 and 10 will be inherited to child projects.

Take Care
- By editing the languages and deleting a language, all alarm texts and documents in that language will be deleted also. So please take care.
- Think before when you change the “Reload Standard Alarm” setting:
- Change from “Do it” to “Don’ Do it” all standardized messages and documents will be copied from the parent project to your project. Depending to the amount this can take a few minutes after saving the changes.
- Change form “Don’t do it’ to “Do it” will overwrite all alarm texts with the texts from the parent project.
So don’t drink and change!
