Define Alarm Sets

Security > Define Alarm Sets

The Define Alarm Sets page defines sets of alarm conditions used to trigger alarms using the Apply Alarm Sets page.

Actions

• Save - Save the alarm set.
• Save As - Save an alarm set to a new name.
• Delete - Delete an alarm set.
• Share - Displays if you own a selected alarm set. Share this alarm set with users, user roles or to make public for all users. Share rights are assigned by object. There are three sharing checkbox options. The first two checkboxes are mutually exclusive and determine what share rights are assigned. If neither of the first two checkboxes are checked, the shared object can only be seen by the users given share access, but the object cannot be used nor edited. The Shared and Not Shared list boxes and the third checkbox determine who can see the object.
  • Allow other administrators to modify - If checked, share rights to the object includes being able to use it, view its details and edit it.
  • Other administrators may use but may not view or edit - If checked, share rights to the object only allows using it.
  • Make public (seen by all administrators) - If checked, ensures that all current and future VSA users can see the object. If blank, only selected user roles and users can see the shared object. If blank, and new users or user roles are added later, you have to return to this dialog to enable them to see the specific object.
• Take Ownership - Displays if you do not own a selected public alarm set. Click to take ownership and make changes to the alarm set.
