Regarding the Acknowledge button on the alarm status table, is there a way to have that button write to a tag when pressed? In other words, when Acknowledge is pressed I’d like it to acknowledge the alarm and write to a OPC tag. It doesn’t seem to script like a normal button would. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!

Absolutely! You just need to write your own alarm acknowledge button. Check out our manual for [system.alarm.acknowledge()](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_alarm_acknowledge.htm) and [system.tag.write()](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_tag_write.htm).
