Overview

For the Alerts module there is an option called Array Alerts which is specific for any type of Array based device, such as IPI's and generic array devices.

The main focus of Array Alerts is to give you the option to set an alert for an XY plot without having to add each individual sensor segment and configuring it that way. The feature also shows you a preview of the data in XY plot format and allows you to adjust specific settings for your IPI if you want to override the default settings of the device.

Creating an Array alert

For creating an Array alert you have two options.

The first option is creating an Array Alert directly from an XY graph. This is the preferred way if you want to see your XY graph presented exactly as is in the alert rule view.

The second option is creating it from the Alert module itself by creating an alert and choosing the Array option.

Once you have clicked that option you will be presented with the configuration page for the Array alert you are creating. On this page you can select your Array device that you want to monitor, create alert rules and configure how the alert trigger is handled.

Parameters

For this alert configuration page you have multiple different parameters.

Priority: This is the priority of the alert and will behave the same way as other alerts.

Add Device: This will allow you to select the Array device that you want to monitor

Time Zone: This is the timezone that will be presented in the email sent to users.

Rules: This is to add your alert trigger rules, you can have multiple rules.

Trigger criteria: This is to set whether all alert rules or just one alert rule need to be met for the alert to trigger.

Trigger frequency:

Once(Default): Alert triggers only once after any sensor triggers alert rule, even if other sensors trigger alert rule as well.

Per sensor: Alert triggers per sensor, if 5 sensors trigger alert rule then user receives 5 notification.

Continuous: Alert triggers continuously until the alert goes to normal state

Configuring Alert rules

When creating an alert rule for an Array alert you will be presented with an XY plot of your Array device. In this preview you can configure your Axis limits, the parameters of the array device, the threshold and what Metric to set your rule for.

For the Parameters you have the exact same options as are available in the XY IPI plot.

By default this preview will have the axis limits as Auto, metric will be Δ2D Horizontal with Inches for unit and ft for Elevation.

If you create this alert from an XY graph then the parameters and display options from that graph will be presented here.

Additional configuration

Alerts Actions: Clicking the "Add new action" icon will open a window with dropdown with five configureable action options that will automatically be completed when an alert triggers. The list below outlines the five action options.

Set connection power mode- Allows the user to turn selected Threads to "Always On" power mode.
Set sampling rate- Allows the user to select sensors and adjust the sampling rate of these sensors.
Take a photo- If field cameras are configured, the user can select a field camera to take a picture upon alert trigger.
Toggle relay device- The user can select a relay device to toggle and the toggle option open or close.
Generate a report- A previously configured report can be selected from a dropdown list which will be distributed on alert trigger.

Emails(Sharing): Alerts, by default, will only send emails to the user that created the alert. If you would like to enable emails to be sent to other users you can click on the Sharing Settings and select each user that you would like to receive an email. Emails can be toggled on or off by clicking the envelope next to each users name.

Sharing A Data Alert

Once an alert has been created, you can now navigate back to the alert configuration page to edit the users that are shared with this alert. To do this, alert summary card and select the edit icon to open the edit configuration page.

At the bottom of the alert configuration page you will find the Sharing section. In this section you will be able to see if the alert is private or restricted, and what users have access to the alert. You can click on the "Sharing Settings" button to edit the shared users.

1. Private Sharing - By default all alerts are set to private until they are shared, when an alert is private it is only visible to the original creator of the alert profile.

2. Restricted - By selecting Restricted, you can choose the users that you would like to have access to the alert by using the search bar.

3. Project wide - Project wide will give all users on the project access to the alert.

3. Unchecking the box next to a user will remove their access to the alert.

4. Click the apply button to save your changes.
