To Acknowledge Alarms from the Alarms Desktop

Each workstation has its own alarm desktop which displays alarm events received from the server. When a workstation starts up, alarms displayed on the desktop will have a “to be updated” status (a blue button in the second column). Once communication is established with the server, all events will be updated on the alarm desktop. The blue button will then be replaced by a red button (alarm), a yellow button (flag) or a green button (acknowledged).

Note: This process will occur each time a workstation have a communication failure with the server.
  1. Select the alarm event you want to acknowledge (one that has been flagged, for instance), right-click to enable a shortcut menu.
  2. Select Acknowledge from the sub-menu. The status indicator becomes green.
    Note: To tag an alarm message for specific purposes, select the alarm event you want to identify; right-click and select Flag from the sub-menu. You can also click an alarm message until the colour of its status indicator changes to the desired colour.
