Publication 2711-6.0
This section shows how to create the Alarm Banner for an
application. The alarm banner is created as a separate screen that is
global to all screens in the application. Control objects covered by
the banner are disabled when the banner displays on the terminal.
To create the Alarm Banner:
1. Choose Create Alarm Banner from the Screen menu.
The Alarm Banner screen opens. The default banner appears at
the top of the screen and is created with:
•
one line alarm message display (cannot be deleted)
•
Clear button
On color terminals, the default background color of the Alarm
Banner and alarm objects is red and the foreground color is white.
On grayscale terminals, the background is black and the foreground
is white. You can change these colors using the Color Palette.

The Alarm Banner can be moved and sized but cannot be sized
smaller than the objects on the banner itself.
2. Create other alarm buttons you want to appear in the Alarm
Banner by choosing the appropriate objects from the Objects "
Alarm Buttons submenu.
If the Alarm Banner is selected, you must deselect it before
selecting an object inside the banner. To deselect the banner,
click anywhere outside the banner.
3. On keypad terminals, double-click each Alarm object to open its
dialog and select the function key that will activate the button.
Touch cell input is automatically selected for touch screens.
