Disabling an Alarm or Notification

The 'disable' function allows you to 'turn-off' an alarm, without actually deleting it. By disabling an alarm, FlowWorks will not monitor your data for the set alarm conditions, and hence it will not push-out any 'actions' if your data happens to meet the alarm's conditions.

1. Log-in to your FlowWorks account. Map View is the first page to load in FlowWorks.
2. Hover your mouse over . A drop-down menu appears.

3. Click . The 'Alarm Configuration' page loads.

4. Select your desired alarm from the list. The entry expands to show details for the alarm you've selected.

5. Click . The list refreshes, with a 'do not enter' icon displayed on the list entry.

   

Whenever you want to re-enable the alarm, simply follow steps 1 thru 4, and click . The list refreshes, with a 'check mark' icon displayed on the list entry.
