The Hyper Alarm Server address space can be configured within the Areas section of the provider in the Project Explorer in the Workbench (Project-level > Alarms and Notifications > Hyper Alarm Server > Areas). The actual address space consists of “Areas” and “Tags (Alarm Sources)”. “Areas” defines the tree hierarchy structure, while “Tags (Alarm Sources)” define the sources of alarms.
Areas are simple, folder-like entities to determine tree hierarchy. As such, there are just a few properties.
