Enabling a Poll

For a poll to become functional, several conditions must be met:

• The poll must be enabled.
• The poll's property must be in the property group associated with one or more nodes, and if those nodes are suppressed, the poll must not be suppressible.
• There must be an enabled alarm with a pending state transition that can be affected by the poll.

This section explains how to enable a poll.
