❑Switching to Manual Mode - Manual Mode allows the Operator to switch to the Operator Guided Response user interface from an Active Signal that is being processed with an Action Plan.
•Being able to exit from an active Action Plan while Processing Alarm Signals is a necessary feature
✓This is because an Operator may need to escape from an Action Plan when he or she is presented with a situation that is not able to be properly managed using the currently active Action Plan.
✓It also allows an Operator to escape form a dead-end Action Plan entry.
➢Note: A dead-end entry is one that, when implemented and the Operator gets to a particular Action Step, there is no Next Step, yet the Signal is not Completed.
These situations are indicated in Red within the Action Plan setup form.
However, it may be accidentally ignored by the data entry person.
The Manual Mode provides for a temporary solution until that data entry error can be corrected.
