So we have alarming that can be acknowledged by the main operator or an administrator. We want to take a select few tags to be set to the main alarm page and make a new alarm page for a sub-operator to e able to clear these few alarms. or add another acknowledged to the main alarm screen that will only clear these few alarms. So if the sub-operator Ack. the select alarms they clear for both or if the main operator clears it also clears them alarms and of course the other alarms. Is there a way to do this. Thank you in advance for the help. Note: Ignition Version is 7.5.11 ---

Hmm. There’s no online docs for v7.5 and I haven’t run one (with local docs) in ages. Since v7.8 per the docs, there are script functions that can acknowledge specific alarms. That could be used in a script that looks at the current list of active alarms and acknowledges just the ones that meet your subset criteria. Look for something similar in your v7.5 docs. ---

I think 7.5 might be old enough it’s got “alerts”, not alarming. All bets are off. ---

That is correct, it is alerting in 7.5. Any dance around you could think of. ---

If you download a zip installer for 7.5.X, you can get the ‘User Manual Module’ that it includes. The manual module can be opened by an archive utility, then the `help.jar` file can be opened again by an archive utility, and then you can browse the `doc` folder contained therein. I’d upload it here directly, but it’s too big for our forum software to allow. Here’s the two most relevant `system.alert` system functions - that may be enough to be helpful.
