I am very new to Factory talk and currently I am working on an existing application, so trying to figure out how some of the sections are defined.

on the alarm screen (display) there is 'Ack Alarm' button and in the tags there is a tag for this purpose which is called 'GAS_SYS\ALM_ACK' with the related address.
now i cannot figure out how this 'Ack Alarm' button is linked to this tag in the background.
I know we can go to objects, advanced, alarm, and then pick an Acknowledge button. and know how to add the tag to point to the necessary bit in the PLC.
but could not figure out how this button and the tag are linked\connected inside factory talk.
note. the Ack is not set in the Alarm_Setup, so this button should be connected to the tag somewhere else.

thanks for you help and comments

i'm not sure, but maybe you are looking for Alarm and Event server, you can conifgure alm & ack there ? if you are using the built-in alarm display.

If not, try to right click on the button and check Global Parameters, maybe its a GlobalObject and it gaves parameter further with a link.

Maybe attach some screenshot, and i try to assist further, im not really understand the situation.
