DPL Notification Matrix

After the DPL Gateway Configuration, Notification Times and Data Tags have been setup, this screen can be used to define the specific Notification Matrix categorizing the Data Tags into Notification Levels, that then default to the equipment Service Managers in the Division Setup, and can be assigned to the Site Superintendents, and at the document level.

Use the following configuration utilities to structure your firm's alert process:

CONFIGURATION

Select each of the following setup utilities in turn and in the following sequence:

• Gateway Configuration - controls the alarm processing frequency, timeout intervals, and error emailing

• Notification Times - setup for notification codes to control when notifications get sent, and defaults for Data Tags

• Data Tags - defines individual alarm codes retrieved by DPL with optional action notes to email, and the email retry and interval values

• Notification Matrix - groups the Data Tags into categories or Levels that can be assigned to Service Managers and Site Superintendents as Notify Levels

• Division Setup - setup divisional equipment Service Manager to receive alerts, with time offset for different time zones

DEFAULT CODE

Enter the default alert code to be assigned to new Service Managers and Site Superintendents, or select one from the Notification Code Search window.
This is a default only, and can always be changed as required.

Notification Matrix

When the Notification Matrix option is selected from the Configuration radio group, the following fields can be used to setup the categories or Levels of Data Tags:

SEQ

The sequence number tracks the Level records in this table.

CODE

Enter an Alert Level code of up to 8 characters.

Basically, there should be at least two basic alert level codes, one for items Out on a contract, and one for items not out.
e.g. ALERT1 and NOTOUT

The NOTOUT code is automatically created and is not intended to be assigned on a document.
It is useful to send alerts to only the Service Manager when equipment not out on contract triggers an alarm.
e.g. Equipment being moved around in the yard sends a 'low oil pressure' alarm.

Note: Only codes that are not assigned to a document or Site Superintendent can be deleted from this matrix table.

DESCRIPTION

Enter the description of this code.

DATA TAGS

Window to assign the Data Tags to this category or alert Level code in the Alarm Notification Levels window.

Finished?

When the Notification Matrix information is complete click ACCEPT to accept the screen.

Note: Any changes made to this table, also updates the Data Tags for the Service Managers in the Division Setup.
