Alarm Block Properties
Alarm block
The alarm block contains an alarm routine. Its purpose is to simplify creating and managing alarm programs. See an example of a simple alarm here.
More details regarding alarms can be found in the Alarms App documentation here.
The alarm block can be found in the Block Library, under the Language folder.
Overview
The alarmBlock has an option to select a variable that triggers from the "Select a variable" dropdown.
The block contains both inflow or outflow gates (the teardrop shaped links). This means that the alarm block can be triggered by a link, and can, in turn, trigger further actions, like sending an email for example.
By default, below the gates are the following fields:
alarmText: - This will be the title of the alarm.
instructions: - Here the user can input a few instructions
priority: - Optional. It is a number type value.
Further down, the Add tag option, allows the user to add further tags as needed
