Does anyone know of a way to "re-up" an alarm after a certain amount of time? A client of mine wants an alarm to become unacknowledged after 5 minutes if the alarm is still active. Any advice?

This is kind of how shelving works. If you shelf it for 5 minutes and at the end of the time it's still active, it will alarm again.

Note: If it is shelved and becomes clear, then active again during that 5 minute period, it won't generate that alarm until the shelving finishes.
