Alarm Instructions Manager
This view displays a standard table-type report that provides a way to view, assign, and edit alarm instructions.
The view is comprised of three primary panes:
- The Points pane, located in the left half of the view, displays all points that are currently available for instruction assignment or editing. These points may have instructions assigned to them, or they may have no instructions. they are simply the points that are available.
- The Point Instructions pane, located in the top right portion of the view, lists the instructions that are associated with the point or points currently selected in the Points pane. You add, remove, reorder, and edit these instructions using the buttons to the right. When selecting multiple points, all must have identical instructions for the instructions to appear in this pane. If there are differences between instructions for the selected points, nothing appears in the pane.
- The Master Instructions List displays all master instructions that are available for adding to the Point Instructions pane. Master instructions allow you to choose and assign a pre-listed set of instructions to one or more points.
NOTE: Always click the Save button immediately after making any changes. The Save action applies to all instructions and all points that are selected
when you click Save. Changes are lost if the screen or if just the pane is refreshed before saving.
