Default alarm colors may determine which alarms you use.
Example
If you have a setpoint that represents a "warning" condition, you may want to use Alarm 3 or Alarm 4 since the default color for these alarms is yellow.
String alarm setpoints are case sensitive and allow the use of the single character (?) or multi-character (*) wildcards.
