User Fields can only be included or excluded at 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 removed 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.
