An acknowledged alarm is indicated by a tick and the **Ack Time** and **Ack By** fields will be populated. To acknowledge an alarm, tap the menu button at the right of the alarm and choose **Acknowledge** from the alarm menu. > ℹ️ **Note** > ℹ️ > ℹ️ Once an alarm has been acknowledged it cannot be unacknowledged. # Alarm History Count You can view the alarm history for a site: - On the Site Summary screen **Alarms** tab. - On any [Trend](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FCNF/pages/2217050222) chart.
