  • Audio File

    The alert sound that will be played.

• Notifications
  This group contains list of configured notification rules. When enabled, notification rules are being checked for potential notifications.

  Keep in mind, that each row triggers its own notification when condition is met. The system enforces a limit of 5 local notifications at a time. If more than 5 rows trigger notifications simultaneously, the system will notify only the first 5 rows. Afterward, a special message will appear to inform the user that additional notifications were triggered but not displayed due to the limit.
  This limit is applied per layout and is specific to grid notifications. KPI notifications are not subject to this limit and are not counted toward it.

  • Must Be Valid For
    If enabled, the alert must be valid for a certain period of time before a notification is sent. This ensures that transient or short-lived conditions do not trigger unnecessary notifications, providing more reliable and meaningful alerts.

    • Timespan
      Only available when Must Be Valid For is enabled
      The time period for which the alert must be valid before a notification is sent.

  • Renotify If Still Valid For
    If enabled, the alert will send a notification again if the condition remains met for a specified period of time. This ensures ongoing conditions are re-notified while avoiding unnecessary alerts for transient issues.

    • Timespan
      Only available when Renotify If Still Valid For is enabled
      Specifies the duration for which the condition must continue to be met before sending a re-notification. This ensures that notifications are sent only for persistent conditions.
