To configure alarm handling in the system, you must perform the following steps:

1. Go to Settings → Options (1) → Alarm processing (2). 
   

2. In the Time period of operator reaction to alarm field, enter the time during which an operator who accepted an alarm for processing and exited alarm mode without evaluating it must return to alarm mode (3). The minimum value is 2 minutes.

   To take an alarm for processing, it is necessary to switch to the alarm management mode.

   
   

   After an alarm is taken into processing, the time for handling it is not limited.

   
   

3. Set the slideshow interval of alarm layout (4, see Working with Special layouts). After the specified time has elapsed, the alarm will be removed from the layout and its place will be taken by the next one, which has not yet been displayed on the layout.

4. Select the alarm classifications after accepting which the operator is required to enter a comment (5).

5. Click the Apply button.

Configuration of alarm handling is now complete.
