Differences between Statuses and Labels

USM Anywhere includes several statuses and labels you can use to classify your alarms. A status is a property of the alarm and a label is a tag you can assign to an alarm. These are the main differences:
  • You can add all the labels you need, but you are not able to create a new alarm status.
  • You can apply a label to more than one alarm, but you are not able to apply more than one status to an alarm.
  • Alarms that have the “Closed” status will not display in the List view in the Alarms page.
