The Alarm Decoder is an advanced option which allows administrators to create and customer Regular Expression decoders for alarm text matching and decoding.
Rather than basic email alarms that use unique email address for each individual alarm point, an Alarm Decoder uses a single email address for all the email alarms and then matches on a customisable "Response Code"
|
Important As this is an advanced section SureView recommends you first talk to SureView Support before making changes on this screen. You must have experience with Regular Expressions before attempting to add or change an existing decoder. |
