This tool allows operators to select an alarm on the alarm page and choose to disable it for a period of time (days/hours/minutes or by time/date). After that, it is automatically re-enabled. You can set the privilege level required to disable alarms and the maximum amount of time operators will be allowed to select. You can also set an administrator privilege level so administrators can select any period of time. The time/date when the alarm will be re-enabled is stored in one of the alarm Custom fields. This allows it to be displayed on the Disabled Alarms page.
Note: Citect 2018 (v8.10) will have a built-in alarm shelving feature so this tool should no longer be needed.

My DateTimePicker tool is used for selecting times/dates/periods.
