They should be unique unambiguous to avoid confusion.You must also decide whether it is an alarm or information.

The sort key determines at which position the alarm button will appear in the EVALARM App.

You can choose between priority 1, 2 or 3. This has an influence on the sorting of the active and stopped alerts. This means, when there are several active or stopped alerts, the alarms of alarm types with a higher priority are displayed further up.

In addition you have the possibility to stop several active alerts of priority 3 simultaneously with multi-selection in the App mobile app as well as in the web cockpit.

Furthermore you can connect an alarm type to one or more building sectors. As a result you have the possiblity to select this structure when creating an alarm. The connecting can also be done in the building sector.

Next you You also have the possibilty to upload option of adding an attachment (pdf file) to the alarm type. This attachment is provied to the users in the active alert is always sent and can be opened up by the user in the alarm under the section "Details" tab.

Default, Speech, Fire, Fire in Morse, Info, Update

Then you have the possibility to enable the Merge alarms feature. By activating this function for an alarm type, several alarms of this alarm type in the same building sector are automatically grouped into one alarm.

This brings the advantage, if for example the fire alarm system triggers serveral detector groups in one building sector, EVALARM will i.e. only create one alarm with 10 marked dectector groups instead of 10. As a result the overview in an emergency situation is increased.

The function Allow duplicates allows that the same user can create several alarms from the same alarm type. This function makes sense for frequent or long active alarms like technical faults.
