Alarm Manager - E-mail Header dialog

This dialog appears if you do the following, setting up the properties for an Alarm job:

The Alarm Manager module organizes its tasks in "jobs". Each job defines

• the alarm condition: selectable from all conditions or module-dependent,
• the alarm action: you can select group-dependent actions,
• the condition status (did the condition occur or disappear?),
• an action delay (optional).

Additionally, the following applies:

• If the Alarm module is loaded, its jobs are enabled; if the module is unloaded, the jobs stop executing their tasks.
• You can pause any job by selecting the None action.
• You can define several action settings depending on Alarm groups.
  

  To define a module group, you select specific modules from all modules currently added to the system.

  Tip - If you add new modules to the system later, they are by default members of the All group. For all other groups, make sure to add new modules to the matching group(s).

  Many Trimble products allow one to make use of module groups, when setting up alarm jobs. For all alarm jobs, the same module groups are available. When defining an alarm job, you define for each module group the specific action settings.

The Alarm Manager module can run multiple jobs. For example, to invoke two different actions for the same alarm condition, set up two jobs.

1. Select the Alarm Manager module in the Tree view. The categories and settings of the General Settings tab appear in the Properties view.
2. Set the focus onto the List of alarm jobs setting and click the browse button. The Alarm Jobs dialog appears. Set the focus onto the Alarm action setting and click the browse button. Select the Send e-mail action.
3. One of the following will happen:
   • If only one module group exists, the E-mail Header dialog appears.
   • If you have defined more than one module group, the Action Settings dialog appears. Set the focus into the value field of any of the groups and click the browse button. The E-mail Header dialog appears.

Use the E-mail Header dialog to view and edit (probably group-dependent) settings for the Send e-mail alarm action.

When an alarm is triggered for a module of this module group, an e-mail is sent to the recipient(s) specified here.

To:

View and edit the primary recipient(s) of the e-mail.*

CC:

View and edit other recipient(s) of the e-mail.*

Bcc:

View and edit other recipient(s) of the e-mail (blind copies).*

* For separating e-mail addresses, use comma characters.

Compact e-mail

Select this option to send compact e-mails. Compact e-mails summarize the alarm information in their subject line only, without any additional text in their body. If the option is cleared (default), the resulting e-mail displays the subject Alarm Notification!. The letter's body then contains the warning condition as well as the condition status (Alarm or Fixed).

Tip - Compact e-mails are especially useful for messages to a mobile phone, if the mobile phone provider supports e-mailing.
