Details

In the Wonderware InTouch Tagname Dictionary, if the option to enable alarming at the top is unavailable this means that Intouch is being used as a view application.

You can check this by launching InTouch WindowMaker and at the top go to Special -> Application Type. There you will see a check in the InTouchView Application box.

When the View Application is enabled you would need to use object based alarms in the IDE running on another node in your Galaxy.
