# Create Alarm

To add an alarm, first click on the tag you want to notify on in the **Tags** list in the sidebar:

Then click **Alarms** in the popup menu that appears:

<figure><img src="/files/Pb5bUFYwvdh9a2wVYfw0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That will navigate to the alarms view for that tag. In that view, click **Add Alarm**:

<figure><img src="/files/VUFNxtkGh5GpO68rIPNV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That will add a row with the following pending settings (changes aren't applied until you click **OK**):

In this example, we'll change the setpoint to 6:

And then click **OK** to save changes:

<figure><img src="/files/Ze2WjQP1LO0Vd61Ff2n1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this case, a notification appears immediately after the alarm is created, since the current value is >= 6:

There are many other options for the condition than just comparing the current value of the tag to a fixed value. See the next page for the other possibilities.
