Create a copy of a device alarm template
when you want to replicate most template properties, or create a new template when you want
to define all new properties.
In Alarm Templates select the Device Alarms tab.
Select Add > Add
Device Alarm Template. To copy settings, select an existing template, then select Add > Copy
Selected Device Alarm Template.
In the Add
Device Alarm Template window, type a unique name for the new template and then set the template
properties:
Priority
The priority level is used as a visual indication of issue severity,
to help you determine how quickly to respond to the issue.
Alarm delay
When viewLinc identifies a device alarm condition, the delay is the
time period starting from the moment an issue is detected and when the device alarm
is triggered. It is recommended that you set the delay according to the
priority.
Acknowledgement
Indicate whether user acknowledgement of this device alarm is
required. When an alarm is acknowledged, the action is tracked in the event
log.
Permissions
Select the groups permitted to modify or apply this template. The
group requires Configure Alarms permission to apply the template to Locations.
Description
(optional) Provide more details about the device alarm template.
Select Save.
You can now apply this device alarm template to a Location.
When you apply a device alarm template to a Location, it remains in effect on the
Location, even if the Location is linked to a different device.
