After you have created this workflow, configure the rights and menus where this workflow can be
executed in the Details panel, in the Menus tab of the global workflow. Make sure no activities are
selected.
Next, select the Alarm menu. From the Alarms & Events XMC menu, select the alarm type you want to
modify. You can create a new alarm or edit an existing one, depending on the use case. In this example,
you will edit the existing Device Down alarm.
