About override actions

Whenever a writable point is controlled from an action issued at either override level, it has an override status. By default, override status color is violet.

A manual (In8) override action to a point (not auto) prompts for an override duration, see the following image.

Figure 1. Override Duration drop-down list

Note: Emergency overrides (In1) do not have durations—these overrides are permanent until you disable them by right-clicking the point and clicking Actions > Auto.

By default, a Permanent override is the first choice in the drop-down list This override value remains effective until the next time this action is auto’ed. Other timed durations are available, including a Custom selection in which a user specifies a duration in hours, minutes, and seconds.

If needed, you can limit the maximum duration of manual override using facets.

Clicking OK, issues the override action to the point. If this is the highest effective priority level, the writable point operates under this override control. If the override is timed, the priority scan returns to automatic control when the override period expires.
