Cause Notes

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.
