How to filter priority 7 alarms from the Alarm Summary Screen while viewing all other alarms with lower and higher priorities 4-6 and 8-15?

In version 12.3 how can I filter out just the priority 7 alarms to not be displayed which are in the middle of the priority range displayed on the Alarm Summary Helper.  I still want to view all other alarm priorities 4-6 and 8-15 on the Alarm Summary Screen.

  First, Why are the Priority 7 items an alarm in the first place if you want to remove it from the list?
  
  There is no way to remove priorities from the middle, you can only filter out priorities from the bottom (Show only 6 and higher for example).
  
  v13 added some more flexibility on filtering of alarm list so you could use a common "Alert" priority of 4 (then remove this from being seen in Alarm Summary and Banner) and then use the Alarm Category and/or the Alarm Functional Classification to filter from. In v12 and earlier I've seen people were using Alarm Priorites to do this filtering which might be what you are doing and this become significantly easier in v13.
  
  If you are using the Alarm system to generate "Lists" of things (i.e. Bypass, Simulate, etc), you will need to rearrange the priorities in v12 unfortunately.
  
  I helped with a presentation (Ready to apply Configured DeltaV Alarm Management Solutions-Session 3-4922) at 2015 Emerson Exchange in Denver showing an example of how to do this in v13 if you are able to see the presentations.
  
  Regards,

  Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. We are moving Priority 7 alarms to a dedicated alarm screen by themselves and wanted to remove them from the main alarm screen. By using the filter range we lose all alarms below priority 8 from the alarm screen. To change the alarm priority may mean downloading all modules in unit.
