actions, and resources about the point in alarm. It is
divided into two parts:
 Operation/Extended Operation tabs (left side): Lets
you inspect all the properties of the point in alarm,
and view and execute any commands/actions
available for that object. Detailed Log [➙ 328]: Lets
you view a detailed log of the event currently being
handled.
 Related Items tab (right side): Provides links to
additional resources (for example, reports or alarm-
handling procedures) that are relevant to the point in
alarm. If you click on a related item it opens by default
in the Secondary pane.
Simultaneous Processing of Alarms from the Same Client Station
On the same client station:
 You can only process one event at a time in Investigative or Assisted
Treatment.
 To highlight that an alarm is being processed by Investigative or Assisted
Treatment:
– In Event List the event button for that alarm is replaced by a placeholder.
– In the Event Detail bar the color of the event button has a darker shade.
Simultaneous Processing of Alarms from Different Client Stations
A Desigo CC installation can have one or more client stations from which operators
monitor and respond to alarms.
 At any given time, you can see which operator(s) and station(s) are handling an
alarm. This information is available in the event button tooltip and in the
In
Process
by column of the event descriptor.
 When another operator is handling an alarm using Investigative Treatment, you
can initiate Investigative Treatment for that alarm..
5.5.8 Assisted Treatment
Assisted Treatment is the name of a guided alarm-handling feature provided by
Desigo CC. It gives the operator step-by-step instructions [➙ 119] for responding to
certain alarms (also called events). During Assisted Treatment, the system may
also automatically execute certain actions (such as sending notifications) without
the operator's intervention.
Assisted Treatment is accessed by clicking (or, in some client profiles, double-
clicking) an event button in Event List, or in the Event Detail bar: If the alarm in
question has been configured to have an assisted procedure, then a dedicated
Assisted Treatment window will open. (If Assisted Treatment is not available, then
the Investigative Treatment window [➙ 105] opens instead).
