Where to find the "HMI Alarming" in Componets Panel?

I am playing around with FW 2024 and its possibility to enable a dedicated alarm server.
In the Help File, there should be an „HMI Alarming“ component in the HMI-part of the Components panel, but I can’t find it. I tried looking for a library too, both on PLCnextStore and in the included PLCnext Engineer Libraries, but with no luck.
Where can I find this?

Can you check this for me?

I cannot find this HMI Alarming-stuff in the Components overview as shown in the screenshots above.
(PS I am running 2024.0.3 now)

Maybe knows?

Hi fluxmodel,
I couldn’t find the help page you’re referring to (but I am using 2024.0.3 and not 2024.0.2). But when I create a new project I can see the Alarm Server node in the PLANT and can create Alarms.
On HMI objects (in my case it’s a button with an Action on Click dynamic) I could select Confirm Alarm or Acknowledge Alarm. I did not go down deeper into this rabbit hole but maybe it’s a starting point for you. For me it seems that instead of dedicated alarm objects in COMPONENTS you’ll have the option to add it to the default HMI objects.

Thanks DivisionByZero,
I have noticed this action before, but thought it was related to the old alarming function using function blocks in the PLCnext Controller library.

Trying to add a few alarms in the alarm server and linking it to the „acknowledge alarm“ action got me nowhere unfortunately. It seems like this new alarming stuff is still in development and not ready for HMI yet

Seems like no one in Phoenix want to say anything about this.
