User Fields can only be included to or excluded from the end of this list. Excluding User Fields from this list reflects on all Alarm Areas and Sources related to this Alarm Server, but only if the deleted Fields were not configured with a forced value or a Link. Otherwise, these Fields still appear on Alarm Areas and Sources. The next figure shows an Analog Alarm with User Fields inherited from an Alarm Server.

User Fields can be copied and pasted between objects. To do so, configure the User Fields, right-click the object and select the Copy User Fields option. Then, right-click the destination object and select the Paste User Fields option, according to the next figure.
