2.4.1 Management Buttons
The alarm page provides two buttons which are located to the left of the Alarm Name on the display. Those buttons work as follows

• Reset Alarm
  Every alarm has a user configurable reset time out. When you click this button, the alarm will disappear for the configured amount of time. If the alarm state goes away while the alarm is hidden, it will not reappear on this screen. This is useful for detected issues that are being worked on by technicians.
• Ignore Object
  Recurring persistent false alarms can be readily ignored by clicking on the ignore state button.
