    Once the alarm is created and saved, the current reading display is updated to include options for blue and red text:

    • A grey-colored value in the current reading column indicates that the reading is within the assigned alarm threshold

    • A blue-colored value in the current reading column indicates that the reading is below the assigned alarm threshold

    • A red-colored value in the current reading column indicates that the reading is above the assigned alarm threshold

  5. In the severity field, selecting high or highest will ensure that any incidents created from this alarm will appear on your Dashboard.

  6. The next section you will see on this page is acknowledgement checklist. Click the dropdown and choose one of the available checklists.

  7. Under the notification frequency field, select how often you would like a notification to send. In the alarm delay field, set the number of intervals that must be out of range before triggering the alarm.

    For the recipient role, choose who will receive notifications for the alarm then fill out the rest of the fields next to it.
