DPL Division Setup

After the Gateway Configuration, Notification Times, Data Tags and Notification Matrix have been setup, this screen can be used to define the specific Division Setup.
Separate Service Managers who should receive the alarms can be assigned for each Division along with a time off-set to ensure that the notification times are respected in each division's time zone.

Use the following configuration utilities to structure your firm's alert process:

CONFIGURATION

Select each of the following setup utilities in turn and in the following sequence:

• Gateway Configuration - controls the alarm processing frequency, timeout intervals, and error emailing

• Notification Times - setup for notification codes to control when notifications get sent, and defaults for Data Tags

• Data Tags - defines individual alarm codes retrieved by DPL with optional action notes to email, and the email retry and interval values

• Notification Matrix - groups the Data Tags into categories or Levels that can be assigned to Service Managers and Site Superintendents as Notify Levels

• Division Setup - setup divisional equipment Service Manager to receive alerts, with time offset for different time zones

When the Division Setup option is selected from the Configuration radio group, the following fields can be used to customize the contacts and time zone by Division:
