The event descriptor of the alarm being handled displays at the top of the Assisted
Treatment window, and you can also directly send alarm-handling commands (that
is, do Fast Treatment [➙ 117]) from there.
The Assisted Treatment window displays in the work area just below the Summary
bar and Event Detail bar. It shows the sequence of steps (for example, viewing a
document or graphic, sending a remote notification, or filling out a report) that you
have to perform to properly handle that alarm. At each step, the system
automatically opens and displays whatever resource or tool (for example, a floor
plan graphic or a report template) you need to perform that step.
The procedure steps may be mandatory or optional. They can include:
 View interactive floor-plan graphic [➙ 48]
 Display a document [➙ 121]
 Generate a report [➙ 123]
 Complete a form [➙ 124]
 Event data printout [➙ 123]
 Remote notifications [➙ 121]
 Display live video of the point in alarm
