Alert Resolution Templates are pre-defined responses assigned to Alert Rules. When a Monitored Asset enters an Alarm state, its assigned Alert Rule activates an alert, sends alert notifications to notify staff, adds the alert to the Dashboard To Do list, and creates an Alert Resolution. From the Alert Resolution, staff can acknowledge the alert and document corrective actions taken to resolve the alarm condition by selecting one or more of the pre-defined responses.
You must be assigned to an Admin Role to create or edit an Alert Resolution Template.
Alert Resolution Templates can be assigned to one or many Alert Rules.
An Alert Resolution Template can have one to many resolutions. The number of resolutions is not limited.
Editing or removing a resolution from a template does not change resolutions logged by users. Logged resolutions cannot be changed and are stored in a Monitored Asset's Event History.
