The Notification properties in the Alarm Dispatcher's configuration correspond to the settings used for sending emails to predefined recipients:
A list of already defined Dispatcher Notifications is displayed in the "Settings" section's "Notifications" window. Other Notifications can be added by using the commands from the "Add New Notification" Ribbon. The Notifications can be organized in folders created with the "Add New Folder" command.
When a new Notification is added, a popup window will open to define its properties. The same window can be opened by double clicking on an already existing Notification.
Window used for setting the Dispatcher Notification properties
The Dispatcher Notification properties are as follows:
Local: Notification will be sent to the user when the alarm activates.
Server: Permits the selection of an alarm area and receives notifications of the desired Alarm Area from the server. As a difference to the previous method used, there is no need to redefine each alarm's specifications each time. Different text should be entered in the 'Message' property in order to distinguish each alarm that generates a notification from those of the same Area.
