> To configure the GUI (in this case on Windows), should I set the "org.phoebus.applications.alarm/config_name=... " parameter in settings.ini or a .properties file? Do I need to add a runtime parameter to point Phoebus at the config file?

Put it into a settings.ini file, then mention that on the command line as

  phoebus[.bat, .sh, ...]  -settings /path/to/my/settings.ini

In a control room, operators should of course not have to type that every time, so you create script like /usr/local/bin/css that basically includes

  #!/bin/bash
  phoebus.sh  -settings /path/to/my/control_room_settings.ini "$@"

If you create a site-specific product, you can also bake your site-specific settings into that product.
See https://control-system-studio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/preferences.html for more.
