# Set up connections for an alarm status list

Use the Connections tab of the Alarm Status List Properties dialog box to set up connections for an alarm status list.

## To set up connections for an alarm status list

1. In the Graphics Display editor, double-click the alarm status list to open its Properties dialog box.
2. On the Connections tab, assign a numeric tag to the AlarmIdentifier connection.

   Tip: | At runtime, the Alarm Identifier specified on the Messages tab of the Alarm Setup editor will be written to the numeric tag assigned to the AlarmIdentifier connection only if the Use Alarm Identifier check boxes are selected on the General tab of the graphic object's Properties dialog box and the Messages tab of the Alarm Setup editor. If the Alarm Identifier column is blank on the Messages tab of the Alarm Setup editor and the Use Alarm Identifier check boxes on both tabs are selected, zero will be written to the numeric tag.
