4. In the new Add New Notification Group window, complete the information for the
following fields.
a. In the Severity Threshold field, select the alarm severity for this email notification group
from the drop-down list.
NOTE:
Depending on the threshold for a chosen alarm severity, an email is generated for
alarms at that level or above that level in importance. For example, when
choosing Major Alarms, an email for Major or Critical is generated. The following
importance levels for alarms range in order from highest importance to least
importance:
 Critical
 Major
 Minor
 Warning
 Info
b. In the Minimum Alarm Duration (Seconds) field, type the duration of time in which an
email alert will be triggered. For example, if this parameter is set to 10 seconds, and the
operator receives an alarm that is self-cleared in less than 10 seconds, the email alert
will not be generated. If the operator wants an email for every alarm regardless of the
interval, the operator should set this parameter to 0.
c. In the Reminder Interval (Minutes) field, type the number of minutes between alarm
reminder emails. This parameter generates a reminder alert email until the alarm is
acknowledged. If the operator does not want to receive reminder emails, the operator
should set this parameter to 0.
NOTE:
Be careful with the value set in this field. If setting a short reminder threshold,
several system emails for unacknowledged alarms can be generated. For
example, if setting a 1 minute threshold and it takes an operator an hour to
acknowledge an alarm, 60 reminder emails based on the 1 minute setting can be
generated. Typically, the operator can set 1-2 hours for the reminder email.
d. In the Receive E-mail for Cleared Alarms field, select Yes or No from the drop-down list.
e. In the Receive E-mail for Acknowledgment field, select Yes or No from the drop-down
list.
f. In the Assigned Failure Types fields, drag the alarms to configure for this notification
group from Failure Types to Assigned Failure Types.
