Deleting a State

If you need to change the name or severity of a state, there's no need to delete the state and create a new one. You can double-click on the icon for the state to bring up the State Definition window and change the state's name or severity there. However, if you've created a state that you no longer need, it's a simple matter to delete it.

 
  To delete a state:

1. Select the state's icon in your state diagram.

   The Remove State button is enabled.

2. Select the Remove State button at the top of the Alarm Definition window.

   A pop-up dialog asks you whether you're sure you want to remove the state and explains that if you remove a state you also remove all the transitions associated with that state.

3. Select the Yes button in the dialog.

   The state icon is removed for the state diagram.
