Alarm Consoles view
Alarm consoles display information about all open alarms that are associated with (or routed to) the console. You can create
one or more alarm consoles, which allows you to group alarms into categories and assign them priority levels. Each must have
one or more alarm classes assigned to it.
Alarm consoles are sometimes called Alarm Console Recipients. The term “recipient” indicates that an Alarm Consoles view is receiving the alarms, as opposed to another type of recipient, such as an email recipient or station recipient.
