Enabling Alarm Events for Event Triggers, Input Switches, and Schedule Controlled Devices
An administrator with appropriate permissions can enable alarm events for event triggers,
input switches, schedule controlled devices, and muster points by defining the privileges on
the Edit Device page. This allows standard events to appear as alarms, as well as allowing
the combination of multiple alarm events of the same type into a single reported alarm
event.
