Add a Rule
Rules can be useful for facilitating the transfer of responsibility between Workstations in projects. In this example, creating a new Rule allows cell blocks to have their control transferred to another Workstation.

by using Collections:

-
In Home > System Configuration > Rules.
-
Click
to create Rule 1.

Rename the Rule, and click on All Assets under the
Assets section.

Decide what assets and Maps should be included in the Rule. If the Rule is not
applicable, switch the toggle to off.

to be used:

Alarm Escalation is available when Post Alarms is enabled. Determine whether alarms in this Rule should escalate, and enable the toggle to allow escalation.Note: For more information, see the Alarm Escalation page.

specify the amount of time before escalation occurs.

Within the Multiple Selection Browser, select the
Rule the alarm will escalate to.
Note: If a selected Rule also has escalation enabled, its timers begin when the asset appears in that Rule. -
