The Alarm Amount by Category report provides information about triggered alarms and organizes the information by alarm categories. Before you can generate report output for this report, you need to set up alarm categories in WorkStation and link alarms to the alarm categories. For example, you can set up door alarm categories or cooling alarm categories. You can then use the report to determine the problematic areas in your buildings such as the door alarms.
The following table shows the input parameters for the report.
