This is the **Steps** screen from the [**last step**](/alarm-builder/setting-up-an-alarm.md). Let us look at the fields of Step 1 that is the **Basic details.**

| **Field**         | Description                                   |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Alarm Name\*      | The name of the alarm to be configured        |
| Alarm Description | The description of the alarm to be configured |

After you've filled in the required details, click **Next**.&#x20;
