3 In the Acknowledge Alarm window, enter the actions taken and your
comments. You can select from preconfigured comments drop-down,
if there are any available.
For example, if you receive a high temperature alarm for a refri-
geration facility, but you are not in the facility where the alarming is
happening, you may need to notify a person working at the Location
to investigate the problem. In this case, if a refrigerator door had
been left open, the facility operator would close the door and add
this action to the Acknowledge Alarms window.
4 Click Acknowledge. Your comments and actions are added to the
Event log and the Acknowledge Alarm box closes. Locations are
updated with this change in status, as well as the Acknowledgement
column in the Alarms window.
To acknowledge alarms from the Alarms window:
1 On the viewLinc desktop, select Options | Alarms to view the list of
all active alarms.
2 Select the Alarm you wish to acknowledge. If you wish to acknow-
ledge multiple alarms, press the [Ctrl] or [Shift] buttons while you
click multiple Locations.
Note: When selecting multiple Locations, it is recommended that
you de-select the Auto Refresh On option, as this feature
can delay the selection process.
3 Right-click on a selected Location and select , or click
Options | Acknowledge . The Acknowledge Alarm window appears,
prompting you to enter the actions taken and comments.
