Operator Guided Response view with Signal Options tab activate

•	The Action Plan user interface will be converted to the generic Operator Guided Response view with the Signal Options tab selected.

•

Normally, while an Operator is Processing an Alarm, and the processing of that Signal is being guided by an Action Plan, and (s)he must put that Signal On Hold, when that Signal is retrieved from the Alarm Stack for further processing, it will revert to the Operator Guided Response processing methodology.

•	However, if the RestartActionPlanFromOnHold option in the Company Setting tab on the Users Options Form is set to True ("T"), the processing guidance will revert to the beginning step defined in that Action Plan.

•	The Contacts, Notes, History, Temp Notes and Signal Options tabs may now be accessed, as needed.
