Alarm description not replacing module description

I have configured an alarm description under the advanced tab in alarm properties, but it is not replacing the module description in the alarm list.  I have read books online about cases when the alarm description cannot be configured, but none of those apply.  We are running DeltaV v13.3.1.  Has anyone else run into this?  Am I missing something?

  Have you downloaded the Alarm Help on the ProPlus?

  Mark,
  The text on the Advanced tab of an alarm properties box is the Alarm Message. The module description is set in the module properties. The default configuration of the Alarm List in DeltaV Operate shows both the module description - labeled "Description", and the alarm message - labeled "Message" - and both will be displayed unless the Alarm List display has been modified to remove one or both of those as columns.
  Is the Alarm Message not showing up under the Message label, or is Message not appearing?
  Hope this helps!
