You can enable specific operator and run-time properties in the Alarm
Summary object. The operator properties enable operators to work interactively
with the object by acknowledging, deleting, filtering, and sorting alarms
at run-time. The run-time properties control time intervals used by the
object. The following two tables summarize the operator and run-time properties
you can configure.
