When an alarm is reported to the CAS, its state is "unacknowledged", meaning that the alarm is new and that a user or the system has not acknowledged its presence. An unacknowledged alarm may be identified by the color settings for the control (background, text, border, ring, bar, fill, or marker color), if configured to represent the point state of the associated point. Additionally, some controls may blink to warn of a point in alarm, if configured to do so.

Acknowledge the alarm from the context menu:
See the control properties for more information about configuring alarm acknowledgment options. |

- If the facility description is blank, then the menu will show the facility ID in the Facility configuration option.
- If the point description is blank, then the menu will show the UDC/long point ID (based on configuration).
Several controls support the option to add point values as a new series to a default chart, providing additional visual context for trended data:
