It would be nice to have the ability to see/control the status of the enable option for an Event on the panel. Perhaps an option to assign an internal tag to each event could be added in the future?

Thanks for the great suggestion. I have notified the Product Manager and we truly appreciate it.

I second this.
It also would be nice to have a internal tag displaying the number of active/acknowledged/unacknowledged alarms. This would be a huge help.
Right now I have a PLC dedicated to storing alarms and acknowledgement status for each, which is then used to interface with an annunciation system. I 've basically had to reprogram all the functionality that already exists in the C-more because there is no way to get the C-more event status out of the C-more. These tags would be super useful.
100% Agree, not linking the Acknowledge Button to a PLC Tag is a HUGE design flaw. How does someone force a user to acknowledge an alarm before they might reset it. At a minimum, like AB does with factory talk, the alarm banner can be dismissed prior to resetting the alarm. I am having to build my own method using the Popup Object and some Logical Comparisons in the PLC to mimic this basic alarm function.\Update, WOW, I found it, it's not easy to find, and you effectively have to make your own alarm banner, but you can do it.
