Responding to Action Requests (continued)
The Enter Value Request is a multi-step operation. The operator enters a
response in the New Value field. If the value entered is out of range, an
error dialog box appears showing the limits. The Last Value appears above
the New Value field. The operator should follow these steps:
1. Read the text of the actio n request thoroughly.
2. Enter the new value in the New Value field and press
Return.The
screen validates the entry to ensure that it falls within the defined
limits. If an error is made, the operator can reenter the value before
committing it.
3. Enter a comment in the Comment field. This step is optional.
4. If you want to commit the answer to the system, select
Commit.The
value that you entered is written to the Answer attribute. Then select
Dismiss to close the form.
To cancel the answer procedure, select
Dismiss without first committing
the answer.
The operator can simply view the action request text. If the operator has the
appropriate security privilege for the reset tag, the system answers a View
request automatically when the Action Request Summary screen is
displayed.Theoperatordoesnothavetocommittheanswertothesystem.
No acknowledgement is required for this action request since it does not
turn on the action request icon when triggered. Instead, it logs a message to
the system log and then resets itself.
