Along with point value, point status is available at point Out. Status reflects status flags, which may get set singly, or in combinations. Status flags are typed by a unique text string (for example: “alarm” or “down”), and many have associated status colors (a background and a foreground). For example, the default status colors for alarm is white text on red background.

Status without any flags set is considered normal (text “ok”), and is without color indication.

For each installed lexicon, text strings for status flags (plus associated colors), are individually adjustable by editing default values in that host’s baja lexicon, using Workbench’s Lexicon Editor. For a default English installation, to change default status appearance settings, edit the en: baja lexicon. For more details, see About lexicons and Lexicon Editor view.
