Adding a Cause Note to an Alarm
You add a cause note to an alarm to let others know what caused the alarm.
A cause note is a predefined note that contains information on what triggered the alarm. This information can be helpful the next time the same alarm is triggered.
In some cases, adding a cause note is optional. In other cases, you are required to add a cause note when you acknowledge the alarm.
You add a cause note using WorkStation or WebStation. In WorkStation, you can view a cause note added to an alarm.
