Alarm causes

Alarm causes

I am using Zenon 7.60 and want to add the function for Alarm Cause, so the user can choose a cause for each alarm. On my Alarm Message List screen I have a button with Screen type specific action = Select alarm cause. When I click on the button it displays a standard window with a list of alarm causes, but the list is empty. How do I add some alarm causes to the list? Under Industrial Performance Analyzer there is a place to add alarm causes, but I think that is for a different purpose as I have added some causes here and the pop up window on the alarm screen is still empty.
