Shelve alarms during runtime

When shelving an alarm from the Alarm Control, operators set an associated time period in which the alarm remains shelved and enter a mandatory comment. Operators can select from a list of Alarm Control Context commands during run-time to:

• Shelve one or more selected alarms

• Shelve all alarms

• Shelve only those alarms visible in the Alarm Control

• Shelve all alarms within the same alarm group as an alarm selected from the Alarm Control

• Shelve alarms by selected tags or attributes

• Shelve alarms by selected alarm priorities

• Shelve all alarms that have the same severity as an alarm selected from the Alarm Control

For more information about configuring shelve Context commands, see Configure the runtime shortcut menu.

When application security is used, alarms can be shelved and unshelved only by operators with proper authorization. For more information about setting shelving authorization, see Configure the Alarm Control to require a SHELVE signature.
