Dealing with Alarms
(Comment / Resolve)
Alarm Notes / Comments
While responding to alarms, you can
enter a note for each alarm
describing what caused it, what was
done to correct the problem, etc. You
can also set the alarm as 'resolved' (
), or 'Keep Unresolved' (
?
).
Tip:
You can set the monitoring window to
show only alarms that either have, or have
not been 'resolved' (for details, refer to the
preceding topic).
Entering or Viewing Alarm
Comments
To enter (or view) an acknowledgement note
for an alarm, click the red area beside the
alarm. Then, enter the desired message and
select
[Resolved]
, or
[Keep Unresolved]
.
You can enter two or three short notes (saved
individually by clicking OK) or a single larger one for
each alarm as desired.
- Alarm Detail:
Details on the alarm, and when it
occurred.
- Comments:
Previously entered comments, plus
an area to enter new one(s).
Tip:
There is
enough space for two or three short notes
(saved individually by clicking OK), or a single
larger note.
- [Resolved]:
Sets the event as having been
dealt-with. If the alarm/monitoring window is
not
set to show only unresolved alarms, you'll see
the message with a " " beside it.
- [Keep Unresolved]:
This saves your comment,
and displays the event with a "
?
" beside it to
indicate further resolution is needed.
- [Cancel]:
This aborts any changes you entered
in the 'Alarm Acknowledge' screen.
TechTip:
Alarms and events can be set as
'resolvable' or not (i.e., whether or not the
comment/resolution screen will be available). As
well, if 'instructions' have been set up for the specific
type of alarm, they will appear here. For details, refer
to the configuration topics:
+
"Alarm/Event Instructions", and
+
"Customizing How Events are Displayed".
