3. Setting up Alarm Types

Alarm Types Overview

The alarm types are among the triggers in the category workflows.

All existing alarm types are listed in a tabular overview.

You can access the overview here for all alarm types and the associated information, activate or deactivate, delete and edit them.

You can also create new alarm types here.

Create Alarm Types

When a new alarm type is created, you must first select the language version, the name of the alert, an abbreviation (short key), the sort key, a description, and an icon.

They should be unique to avoid confusion.

The sort key determines at which position the alert in the EVALARM app will appear.

 For all functions in EVALARM: The higher the sort key, the higher up the function.

You must also decide whether it is an alarm or information.

Now you can adjust the alert ringtone. By playing the sound you will always find the correct ringtone for the situation.

The following ringtones are available besides the silent function:

Voice, Fire, Info, Update, Default

 For all  EVALARM functions: Always click the Update button to ensure that the selection remains.

Alarm Levels and Additional Information

With the alarm levels function, alarms can be (de-)escalated and updated accurately.

Through a well thought-out structure and precise description, communication channels can be shortened and the right persons can be alerted for every situation.

The ability to send additional information also guarantees a flexible detection of the alert situation.

Through precise questions and suggested answers, this process can be simplified.
