Configuring a Default Alarm Comment

You can configure a default comment to be used when an operator acknowledges an alarm. If you do not configure a default comment, when the operator acknowledges an alarm, a dialog box appears to let the operator enter a comment. The dialog box can be filled in or left blank.

To configure a default comment

1. Right-click the Distributed Alarm Display object and then click Properties. The Alarm Configuration dialog box appears.

   

2. Select the Show Context Sensitive Menu check box.

3. Select the Use Default Ack Comment check box and then type the comment text in the box.

4. Click OK.
