Add a Comment to the SOE Page

You can add a comment to an event listed on the Sequence of Events (SOE) page.

Note: You cannot modify or delete an existing comment for an event. You can only add a comment.

To add a comment to the SOE page:

1. Right-click on the relevant event and select Comment.

The Comment dialog will appear. The name of the associated alarm tag (if relevant to the selected event) displays in the dialog title bar (for example, "Comment [Alarm_6]").

2. Enter your comment in the Enter Comment field.
3. Click OK.

The comment will display in the list on the Sequence of Events page next to the associated event.

When you add a comment to a 'raised' event on the SOE page, the message will display in the User Comment field on the alarm summary page. Cleared, acknowledged or any other event comments will not be displayed on the alarm summary page.

You can also add comments to an event on the SOE page using the AlarmComment Cicode function. To add a message to the relevant event you can include the ‘AN’ as an additional parameter in the function.

For example:

AlarmComment (“Temperature discrepancies”, 21)

To successfully add a comment to an event on the SOE page, the following rules need to be met:

• The event is not of "Comment" classification.
• A user should be logged on to the client process.
• If the event is associated with an alarm tag, the logged on user needs to have sufficient privileges for the alarm.
• If the event is not automatically generated by the system, the logged on user needs to match to the user associated with the event.
• If the event is automatically generated by the system, the logged on user needs to have full privileges (from 1 to 8).
