Absolutely **NOT** recommending this as a solution, but you can add events to the acknowledge button using [Periscope's Portal component](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/musson-industrials-embr-periscope-module/99047/20).

This is an example of adding an `onclick` event to the Acknowledge button that sends a message, which a handler responds to by displaying/printed the selected alarms.

Again, **do not do this**. Trying to reset latching control system alarms using Ignition alarm acknowledgement is not a good idea. Just because they both use the word "Alarm" doesn't make them the same thing.
