An Alert Resolution is generated when an alert is activated due to a Monitored Asset entering an Alarm state. From an Alert Resolution, staff will document the corrective actions taken to resolve the alarm condition. You can view all logged resolutions for a specific alert from a Monitored Asset's Event History.

Start Date: sets the start date of the date range to display.

Note
To view all logged resolutions for an alert generated on a specific date or date range, the Start Date must be set to the date the alert was activated.
For example, today is January 30 and the Monitored Asset has been in an Alarm state for the last few days. You know that resolutions were logged today and need to view previous logged resolutions. Assuming the Monitored Asset entered an Alarm state on January 28, 2020, you must set the Start Date to 01/28/2020 (date alert activated) and set the End Date to the current date. If the Start Date is not set to the date the alert was activated, the logged resolutions for the alert will not be listed.
If the data needed is not displayed, you may need to set the Start and End Date for a longer time period.
Data is displayed in ascending order by the Start Date. You may need to scroll down to view the last logged resolution or event and set the Items Displayed to a greater number.

Logged resolutions are identified by the comment type Alert Resolution Added. Comments added to an Alert Resolution's State History are identified by the comment type User Comment.
