13.6 Add or View Alarm Comments

Nform allows you to add notes to any alarm in the alarm listing. The notes can be viewed and edited

at a later time. The notes can perform several functions, including helping you keep track of actions

taken to resolve an alarm condition and document the underlying cause of an alarm.

• Right-click on an alarm and select Comments from the pop-up menu, as shown below.

(Or click on the alarm, then select Comments from the Alarms menu or click the Comments but-

• Enter notes in the Comments window, and click Save. Once a comment is added and saved, the

Comments button icon will appear in the Event Message column for that alarm, as shown below.

13.6.2 View or Edit Comments

To view comments that have been added to an alarm:
