I have an alarm pipeline with several checks were I have an expression box with the {isShelved} in it. I'm experiencing that the pipeline seems to still trigger the notifications that should be stopped while the alarm is shelved. The pipeline is basically like this 1 - Send first notification - SMS 2 - Delay 5 min 3 - Check if alarm is shelved, if shelved, go to a delay, then check again. If not shelved go to step 4 4 - Send 2nd notification - SMS 5 - Delay 5 min 6 - Check if alarm is shelved, if shelved, go to a delay, then check again. If not shelved go to step 7 7 - Send Notification by SMS and VOIP, then go back to step 5 The pipeline stays active even when the alarm is shelved. This is because I need the pipeline to resume were it was in the pipeline if the alarm is still active after the shelving time is over. I saw in the patchnotes for Ignition 8.1.25 - RC1 that there were some fixes to the event['isShelved'] in the script block. Anyone know is this were also an issue in the expression block? And will it also be fixed? from the RC1 patch notes ![bilde](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/5/75e625ca2f355b6410b046fbaab5e5079fb7d8ef.png) ---

Hello [Richard\_Giske](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/Richard_Giske), Could you possibly give more clarification on what is going on in step 3? Is a script block being used? Some screenshots could help clear this, so we can replicate your architecture on the Alarm Pipeline. Thank you ---

Step 3 is using a expression block, to check for {isShelved} Here's a picture of the pipeline. ![bilde](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/c/cc331355aeca522d67506ea7054f0311cde211af.png) 1. Settings some parameters to be used in the message(Could gather all of them in the script block) 2. Sending the first sms 3. Initiate the first VoIP calling after 5 minutes, unless its shelved 4. Send the 2nd sms after 5 minutes, unless it's shelved 5. Loop which sends sms every 15 minutes to both the onduty and the backup rooster, and calls the onduty and backup operators every 5 minutes. The alarms are either shelved via an gateway script triggered by an sms, or the Ignition Perspective app via a seperate project. ---

Hello [Richard\_Giske](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/Richard_Giske), I tested with the isShelved function and was able to get it to return true and false. The issue may lie somewhere in the configurations. It might be easier to open a support ticket to look deeper into your pipeline configurations.

Updated our system to 8.1.25 now and we'll be running some more tests on the issue. If we don't get a solution I'll make a support ticket. Thanks for the feedback
