Call Alarm Screen Object

Topic: CM044

The Call Alarm Screen object consists of a Pushbutton that, when pressed, opens a screen that displays either an Alarm Summary or Alarm Count of triggered alarms through the Event Manager Alarm Action.

The Alarm Summary pop-up window displays details such as time, date, and messages that pertain to each specific alarm.

This object is not configurable. The related object "Alarm List" is configurable and is recommended. The Panel Manager setting "Alarm Screen Style" determines the look of this object, either Default, which looks much like the Alarm List, or Classic.
