# Create an alarm message

Use the Message tab of the Alarm Setup editor to create an alarm message.

## To create an alarm message

1. On the Messages tab of the Alarm Setup editor, in the Trigger column, select the trigger for which to create an alarm message.
2. Specify the properties for the trigger.

   Tip: | If the application is not a PanelView Plus 7 Standard application that has 500 alarm messages, or a Compact Machine Edition application that has 200 alarm messages, specifying the properties (except Background and Foreground) for the trigger in the last row will add an unassigned trigger.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to set up additional messages.
