All active alarm types display in the Alarms window—threshold alarms, device alarms, and system alarms; however, only the alarms for the Locations you are permitted to view are visible. Use the Alarms window to acknowledge alarms, and print or export alarm reports.
| You can view and acknowledge threshold and device alarms in the Sites or Overview windows, on the Location Alarms tab. |
Active and Inactive Alarms
- Check the Status column to determine if an alarm is in an active alarm state, or was in an alarm state and is now inactive.
- Both active and inactive alarms that require an acknowledgement display in the grid.
- Inactive alarms that do not require acknowledgement do not display in the grid.
- The option to acknowledge all inactive alarms is restricted to members of the default viewLinc Administrator's group.
Alarm Acknowledgement
- Check the Acknowledgement column to determine if an alarm requires acknowledgement, and if it has been acknowledged.
- Threshold alarms can be acknowledged if you have acknowledge alarms permission for the Location.
- Device alarms can be acknowledged if you have acknowledge alarms permission for at least one Location linked to the device.
- System alarms can only be acknowledged by members of the default viewLinc Administrators group.
