Alarm Profiles

One of the core capabilities of SmartView is alarm management, which includes defining alarms, identifying, handling, and reporting on alarm excursions. An alarm is the occurrence of a pre-defined situation.
SmartView enables users to define business rules for such situations. An alarm excursion represents an alert situation that indicates the breach of one of the business rules that are defining the alarm. With continuous sensor measurements, SmartView can identify the breach of a rule and thereby can report an alarm.
To support alarm management, SmartView enables users to define alarm profiles that include: alarm rules, recipients, and personalized messages.
The user needs to define appropriate alarm profiles in the system first. For monitoring a shipment or a facility, he needs to select one of the predefined alarm profiles that are applicable to it. Selecting an alarm profile for a shipment or sector means that the business rules, as defined in the alarm profile, are now applicable to the specific shipment or sector.
To access the alarm profiles, you need to go to the ‘Configuration’ tab in the menu bar and click on ‘Alarm profiles’.

*Optionally you can select an existing alarm profile as a template in the ‘Create an Alarm Profile’ box. If you select an existing alarm profile as a template, then the new alarm profile will get the information that was already defined in the existing profile. This is useful in a situation when an alarm profile similar to an existing one needs to be created.

During the set up, a configuration policy has to be selected. The rules for the event profile will be imported from the configuration policies available within the system.

After creating an alarm profile, this can be applied to a sector or a shipment and can be reused as many times as required.
You can choose to Modify or Delete the alarm profile from the alarm profile overview, by clicking on the button and by choosing your action. The ‘Modify’ page can be reached also from the alarm profile itself, by choosing the

*Note: Editing or deleting an alarm profile does not affect the shipments or sectors to which the alarm profile is added. Editing an alarm profile will only affect the shipments or sectors to which the alarm profile will be added.

Every setting can be modified which you had to fill out or define when creating an alarm profile.
