When an alarm is triggered, you acknowledge the alarm to indicate to other users that you have responded to the alarm and intend to troubleshoot the problem that caused the alarm. The name of the user that acknowledges the alarm is displayed in the Alarms pane, Events pane, Alarm Views, and Event Views.
Alarms can be configured to be acknowledged in different ways. The transition between alarm states depends on the Basic evaluation property of the alarm.
When you select the acknowledgment type No acknowledgement, the triggered alarm returns to normal state and disappears from the alarm view when the monitored variable no longer meets the criteria to trigger the alarm. You select this user action when the user only needs to see a status and does not need to take any action on the alarm, for example, to see if a space is occupied or not.
