Defining a new alert
To define a new alert or edit existing alert definitions:
1. From the Alerts menu, select Define New Alert. The New Alert window appears with tabbed pages
for each type of alert information to be defined.
2. In the Alert Name tab, enter the basic alert information.
o Alert name—A unique name or identifier for the alert.
o Alert priority—How often and in what order email notifications are sent to the alert recipient.
o Description—Optional location to provide more details about the alert.
3. Select the Message tab, and create the alert notification message.
o Message header—The subject line of the alert notification message
o Message body—The content of the alert notification message
o Macros—Data inserted into the message body that cannot be used in the message header:
— $MESSAGE$—Displays the data type and actual value that triggered the alert.
— $NAME$—Displays the name of the object that triggered the alert.
— $LOCATIONS$—Displays the location of the object that triggered the alert.
— $TIMESTAMP$—Displays the time stamp when the alert was originally triggered.
4. Select the Objects & Conditions tab, and then adjust the types of objects and values you want
evaluated for that alert.
NOTE: Do not create conditions that are mutually exclusive. For example, a top temperature
greater than 80°F and a top temperature less than 50°F. Be careful to select Or rather than
And.
