VT3000 - Add Alarm Label

---

---

Overview There is a type of Alarm called a Label. This alarm is used as the parent or folder for other alarms that can be placed as children or inside it. A common example is if you have one device for multiple machines, you can make a Label named Machine 1 then place all the alarms inside of it. The touch screen would only show one button as Machine 1. You could repeat this for Machine 2, Machine 3 & Machine 4. This Alarm can only be setup on a BSC, TIM & PSM.
