# Using the Alarm List

The alarm list shows alarms for all sites. For any alarm in the list you can:

- Tap on an alarm to view the [alarm details](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/2662924365)
- Poll the tag to get the latest data.
- Acknowlege the alarm by choosing **Acknowledge** from the alarm menu (see [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/2662924531](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/2662924531) for more details)
- View the site details by choosing Site Details from the alarm menu
- View a trend line for the tag by choosing Tag History from the alarm menu.
- View the Tag Settings

# Using the Alarm Map

You can configure up to three tags and show their alarms on the Alarm map. The alarm details will be displayed when you zoom in to a level at which you can see individual sites.

Use the map tools to toggle the alarm display off and on.

## Configuring the Alarm Map and Tags

Tap the :SettingsIcon: **Settings** button at the top right of the page to open the Alarm Map configuration.

## Using the Map Tools

Use these map tools to control the map display:

| **Tool** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| :mapResetBounds:   Reset bounds | Reset the map centre and zoom settings to the default. |
| :mapWatchLocn:  Watch location | Follow your location on the map. When you tap this icon the map will display your current location and track your location as you move (however, if you have turned on the **Stop bounds changes** feature the map will not move as your location changes). |
| :mapBounds:   Allow/Stop bounds changes | Controls whether the map view changes when you apply filters to the site list or when your location changes.<br>By default, if you filter the site list the map bounds will change to include all the sites that match the filter. This can mean that the view moves away from your current settings. If you want to retain your current view settings, use this tool to disable map changes when filters are applied. |
| :mapIrrUnit:  Show/Hide irrigation units | Show or hide the outline of irrigation units on the map. |
| :mapDeclutter:  Declutter | Reorganise overlapping site icons to show the site location more clearly. See [Decluttering the Map](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/2196340737/Working+with+the+Site+Map#Decluttering-the-Map) for details. |
| Display tag 1 values | Display alarm data for the first tag you have selected. |
| Display tag 2 values | Display alarm data for the second tag you have selected. |
| Display tag 3 values | Display alarm data for the third tag you have selected. |
| :mapLabel:  Display site labels | Hide or show site labels on the alarm tag panels. (This does not affect how site labels are shown when tag panels are turned off) |
