Alerts
Lat-Lon defines an Alert as an e-mail message generated by Lat-Lon’s server computers that can be
sent to a user’s e-mail, pager, or as a text message to their cell phone. It is up to the customer to
research or call their cellular provider so that their cell phone number can be typed as an email
address (for text messaging).
There are several components to Alerts. The Administrator must define what triggers an alert
email. This trigger definition process is called an Alert Template. The other component of the
Alert is defining which User accounts will have Alerts activated and to whom the alerts will be sent.
Within Manage Users, the Administrator will assign an Alert Template to that User and will fill in
the e-mail address (or multiple addresses) to which the e-mails will be sent.
An Alert Template must be set up for an email alert to be sent to a User’s email address.
After clicking on Manage Alerts, click on one of the following:
The Manage Alerts wizard will walk you through each of the following steps:
Step 1 of 5: select units that will be a part of that particular template. For example, if you want all
of your STUs to send the same type of alert email then add all of your STUs to the template.
Step 2 of 5: select the fields to set your criteria. For example, if you want the email alarm to be sent
on the criteria of Message Type then add that “field” in this step.
