 The Assisted Treatment window automatically closes when the event is fully
handled, or when you suspend Assisted Treatment.
5.5.12.1 Following the Assisted Procedure
 The Assisted Treatment window [➙ 106] displays on the screen, with the steps
of the procedure listed in the pane on the left. The available steps and the
order in which they appear in the list may vary depending on configuration.
They can include:
- Alarm Printout [➙ 123]
- Document Viewer [➙ 121]
- Graphics [➙ 48]
- RENO Messages [➙ 121]
- Report [➙ 123]
- Alarm-handling Form [➙ 124]
1. From the list on the left, select a step to start carrying it out.
 The tools and information for performing that step display in the Primary
pane.
2. Perform any task required for the selected step.
3. When you have carry out the task, check off the step by clicking the white
check box
NOTE: If you complete the task and a gray check box displays instead of a
white one, this means that you still need to carry out some other step in the
procedure first before being able to check off the step.
 Once you check off a step a checkmark displays in place of the check box to
indicate the step was completed, and an execution status icon underneath it
indicates the outcome (success/failure/and so on) of the step.
Assisted Procedures Tips
 Steps displayed with an exclamation mark are mandatory, while the other steps
are optional. Depending on the configuration, you may or may not have to
follow the steps in the order they appear in the list.
 The steps may need to be followed in the order they appear in the list, but not
always and this is configuration-dependent.
 You must complete all the mandatory steps before closing the event. If you
haven’t completed those steps, the event status is Waiting for condition
and the
Close command is unavailable. In such a scenario, if you click the
event button to suspend event handling the suggested action is Complete
Operating Procedure.
 If you want to see all the events that still have mandatory steps that need to be
completed, use Waiting for condition
to filter by event status. As you
cannot distinguish events that have mandatory steps, once you apply the
Waiting for condition filter, start Assisted Treatment and check if any of
the step in an assisted procedure has the exclamation mark which means that
a step is
mandatory .
 If you are in the middle of an assisted-treatment procedure for an event, and
recurrences of the same event happen in the system, a message box may
display informing you that the procedure has been reset. In this case you will
have to perform again any steps previously marked as executed.
