Whether you're just learning about OneVue or when you are just not sure what a term really means, the following glossary provides terms and concepts unique to OneVue. The synonyms may provide reference to terms you may already be familiar with.
- Active Reports
-
Active Reports are where you access reports or generate new reports for active Report Profiles. A Report Profile generates reports and is configured to meet your organization's reporting requirements.
synonyms: latest reports, new reports - Alarm Delay
-
Sensor setting.
The Alarm Delay sets the amount of time OneVue delays setting the sensor and its assigned Monitored Asset to an Alarm state. When a sensor reading is not within its Normal Condition (an Out of Range status) and it remains Out of Range for the time period set in its Alarm Delay setting, the sensor and Monitored Asset are then set to an Alarm state with a status of Out of Range, Past Alarm Delay.
The Alarm Delay setting is designed to reduce the frequency of nuisance alarms resulting from temporary reading fluctuations. For example, a temperature reading fluctuation may be due to routine occurrences, such as opening and closing a refrigeration unit during restocking or during a refrigeration unit defrost cycle.
synonyms: alert delay - Alarm State
-
A condition requires immediate attention. The condition resulting in the Alarm state is indicated by its Status.
synonyms: excursion alarm, reading alarm, sensor alarm - Alert
-
An alert is activated when a Monitored Asset (included in an Alert Rule) enters an Alarm state. Staff receives alert notifications either by email, text (SMS), or voice messages, which set in their user profile's alert preferences.
All alert notifications include the Monitored Asset Name, its assigned Business Unit, and the condition resulting in the alert.
synonyms: alarm, excursion notification, alert notification - Alert Interval
-
Alert Rule setting.
The Alert Interval time period sets how frequent alert notifications are continuously sent during an alerting condition. If an alert is acknowledged, alert notifications resume at the time period set in the Resume Alerts After has been reached.
As an example, an alert was activated at 1:00 PM and the Alert Interval is set to 15 minutes. An alert notification is sent every 15 minutes. However, if the alert was acknowledged, alerts resume at this frequency once the Resume Alert After the time period has been reached
synonyms: alert reminder, alert frequency, repeat alerts - Alert Resolution
-
An Alert Resolution is generated when an alert is activated due to a Monitored Asset entering an Alarm state. From an Alert Resolution, staff will document the corrective actions taken to resolve the alarm condition. You can view all logged resolutions for a specific alert from a Monitored Asset's Event History.
synonyms: alert response, corrective action, document actions taken - Alert Resolution Template
-
An Alert Resolution Template is a group of pre-defined corrective actions (resolutions). When a Monitored Asset enters an Alarm State, the template is included in the Alert Resolution generated by the Alert Rule. From an Alert Resolution, staff documents corrective actions taken to resolve the alarm condition.
synonyms:standard corrective actions, responses - Alert Rule
-
An Alert Rule activates an alert when a Monitored Asset enters an Alarm state. When an alert is activated, OneVue sends alert notifications to notify staff of the alarming condition and creates an Alert Resolution to allow staff to document corrective actions taken to resolve the alarming condition.

-
A Business Unit is the primary account structure component that commonly represents a department or other business entity in your organization. A Business Unit essentially groups Monitored Assets and each asset is required to be assigned to a Business Unit. Based on your organization's business rules or staff responsibilities, you may have one, a few, or many Business Units.
With the use of Business Units, you limit and control staff access to only what they are responsible for. This is accomplished by assigning each user a Role to the Business Unit they are responsible for. You can also assign Business Units to other system components, including Report Profiles and Alert Rules.
