An indication of the relative severity of the alarm. Standard classes are HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW
The resource for the point or device which the alarm is for
The times the alarm was generated and cleared
Under what circumstances the alarm may be deleted from the database
An indication of whether or not the alarm may be manually cleared
Help file name - Alarms may have help files which can be displayed to operators to aid in resolving the problem which caused the alarm
