A cause note specifies the problem that caused the alarm. Cause notes are grouped by category, with possible alarm causes listed in each group. When an alarm is triggered, you can easily report the causes that triggered the alarm by selecting the predefined choices.

Reporting the cause of the alarm is either voluntary or mandatory. You can configure the alarm so the user is required to report the causes when certain events occur, such as when an alarm is disabled.

​Cause notes can be of great use the next time the same alarm is triggered or when extracting alarm statistics.
