Hello Johann, I have another question related to these alarms. I have noticed that when acknowledging alarms using the faceplate. the data that gets logged in the Alarm and Event Database does not capture the "User" who acknowledged the alarm. For your reference, I have attached a screenshot of the ...

Yes, I had thought of that and could make it work this way. Thanks for the input. I was thinking there might be an easier way to get the Alarm Summary to operate with the area security. -------------------------------------------

Hello Philip, Thanks for this. Would you know where I need to make this change to increase the length to 1999. Since I have already created the database and have data logging in it. Would I have to make the change by modifying the columns within SQL (see original screenshot) or is there any other file ...

Hello Johann, Thanks for the response. Is there any other way we can have the same permissions when someone ack/reset alarms on the device faceplates vs alarm summary screens. Reason being, the alarm summary screen provide us with more options for ack alarms in bulk or even entering comments when ...

Hello Johann and Chris, Sorry for the late response. I have organized my project like you have described above. However, my question was more centered towards the alarm acknowledgement using the Alarms Summary Screen vs the Alarm Acknowledgement on the device faceplate. You are right that when I try ...

Hello, I'm having an issue where any Electronic Signature entries in the SQL database is not full visible due to the length of the text being longer than the datatype of MessageText Column (varchar(254),null).

But, this does not seem to work. Even if I have a user that is only part of a User group with operator access and assigned to one of the areas, they are able to acknowledge alarms in the alarm summary screens for all the other areas. Seems like it uses the Security group permissions rather than the area ...

Hello @Johann Kotze - Would you know if there is anyway to have users belonging to certain Area groups only be able to acknowledge, suppress, enable/disable alarms based in the "Alarm Group" information? -------------------------------------------
