I would like to remove or hide unnecessary columns from "Incoming alarm list" in WinCC runtime for PCS7 system. 

You can modify the relevant pdl pictures that start with @. In Runtime you get click on the page information dialog to get the exact name of the picture you want to modify.

I think disabling columns can be done just by disabling them. Some other parameters like column widths are set via a script, where you have to disable the script call if you want to do this manually.

If you make any changes in the @-pictures, write down a document what you have modified. As if you run the OS project editor again when making some major changes, or if you've to install an update, it's possible that the @-pictures are overwritten.

Depending on the column you want to disable, may be you can do this setting running the OS project editor again. Then the @-pictures get this setting after compilation is done automatically.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply. I can see two pdl files for incoming alarm list: @AlarmNew.PDL and @AlarmNewOp.PDL. I unchecked in the message blocks of WinCC AlarmControl Properties for these both PDL. Then compile/download servers, runtime winCC restarted but these columns are not disappearing. 

Any other suggestion for these issue.

Hi Harry,

Your suggestion is appreciated. I was doing exactly from EWS what you said. However, I agreed about overwritten from somewhere.

I didn't get the installation folder point. My GraCS folder is the installation folder only. Do I have to do the same setting somewhere else. If you can suggest further, it will greatly appreciated.

Thanks
