Is it possible in Alarm to display part of the text in BOLD?

Is it possible in Alarm to display part of the text in BOLD?

Hi Solomon, I suspect No if you are using MCS Alarm Policy as the message is stored in MS SQL which usually says it does not support bold. If using legacy agent view using IM...maybe. I would give it a try. Write your message in WordPad and try copy and paste with bold letters.

I tried it, it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Found this on a bold text in SQL Search if you would like to try embedding HTML tag in your alarm message text: Using HTML Tags within Data: You can store data with HTML tags (e.g., **I am bold** or <b>I am bold</b>) in your SQL database field.

As far as I know, this is not possible.

I tried all possible options, but unfortunately none were successful.

This depends on where you are displaying the alarm - bold is produced in the rendering of the text, not in the characters themselves.

So, if you are displaying this via a browser, you could try testing by inserting HTML into the string so something like "<b>this is bold</b>"

And regardless if it works or not, most people will get used to the tags indicating "bold" and it might still achieve your goal if not being actually bold.
