Alarm Areas provide a means of managing alarm items collectively. Unlike the previously discussed groups, areas allows to perform actions such as acknowledging all alarms within one simultaneously, disabling alarms within the same location, and other runtime actions.

Configuring Alarm Areas
Alarms Areas focus on the organizational aspects of alarms, providing tools to manage alarms' hierarchical arrangement and visual representation. They allow users to refresh the structure view, add new folders to the hierarchy, rename existing elements, or remove them altogether, ensuring a streamlined approach to alarm organization.
To define and organize an Alarm Area hierarchy, follow the steps below:
- Access Alarms → Areas.
- With Alarm Areas selected, click the folder with a plus icon.
- Enter the new Alarm Area name and press Enter on your keyboard.
Repeat this process and nest the folders to create your desired hierarchy.
Having an Alarm Area hierarchy will simplify alarm management, allowing you to quickly identify the source of an alarm and take appropriate action. It also allows you to customize alarm priorities and notifications based on your needs.
