1. A computer implemented method, comprising: graphically displaying a plurality of alarms in a form of individually colored geometric configurations among a plurality of geometric configurations within a display screen; automatically organizing said plurality of alarms into categories that a user can access to form logical alarm clusters; and defining a priority and a precedence based on a size and a shape of said individually colored geometric configurations, thereby permitting a user to identify particular alarm data from said display screen through the use of spatial and pattern recognition.
