Instructions Definition

This menu is used to define instructions that must be assigned to events. When an alarm is generated, the instruction will display in the Instruction window (Desktop menu) for acknowledgement . Usually, each line contains a single directive; with the response instructions composed of several directives (lines). This allows for greater flexibility when modifications are required.
