USE THE ALARM CONTROL
Use the Alarm control to view and acknowledge alarms.
The Alarm control is similar to the Alarm/Event Control screen object. It displays online alarms and allows
the user to acknowledge them.
An example of the Alarm control
By default, active alarms are written in red, acknowledged alarms are written in green, and normalized alarms
are written in blue. However, you can change these colors in the Global Settings tab of the Mobile Access
Configuration worksheet.
The grid columns are also similar to those in the Alarm/Event Control screen object. The following columns
are included by default:
Activation Time
The time when the alarm became active.
Type
The type of alarm (e.g., Hi, Lo, HiHi, LoLo).
Message
The message that was displayed when the alarm became active.
Value
The current value of the project tag.
Like the default alarm colors, you can change these default columns in the Global Settings tab of the Mobile
Access Configuration worksheet. However, those changes will apply to the entire Mobile Access website. If you
only want to change the columns for a specific Alarm control, during a specific user session, see below.
To use the Alarm control:
1. To acknowledge all currently active alarms:
a) Click/tap Ack All.
The Ack screen is displayed.
b) Type a comment that will be saved with the acknowledged alarms, and then click/tap Confirm.
The alarms are acknowledged.
2. To acknowledge only selected alarms:
a) In the * column of the grid, select the alarms that you want to acknowledge.
Note: The Alarm control will not be updated while you have alarms selected.
b) Click/tap Ack *.
