Add a one time scheduled reminder

Follow this procedure to generate an alarm at a specific date and time.

Before you begin

Complete the steps in Open the Add Reminder dialog box.

To add a one time scheduled reminder

1. In the Name field on the Add Reminder dialog box, enter a name for the reminder record.

   Note: Any spaces used in the name will be replaced with _.

2. In the Severity field, select the alarm severity associated with the reminder:

   • critical

   • high

   • major

   • medium

   • minor

   • low

   • none

3. Select the associated Dataset.

   Note: To associate the dataset with the reminder record, you must have distributed control and configuration permissions as defined by an Administrator in the DistribuSys mode control configuration.

4. Select the Group to which you want to add the reminder.

   Groups determine who sees the alarm. Groups are assigned to the Area of Responsibilities (AORs), which Administrators in turn assign to Controllers for view/control on login.

5. In the Alarm Message field, enter the text of the alarm message.

6. On the left pane of the Add Reminder dialog box, in the Server fields, configure the date on, and time at, which AVEVA Enterprise SCADA should generate the alarm.

   Notes: The Local fields are for informational purposes only.
   
   If you select a time in the past, the system automatically disables the record once you save your changes.

7. Select Add.
