How to Notify Users
The Notify Users action enables PowerChute plus to send broadcast messages to selected users whenever a specific event occurs.
Use the following steps to configure an event's Notify Users action:
- From the Configuration menu, choose Event Actions..., and highlight the event in the Events list in the dialog box.
- Mark the check-box for the Notify Users action.
- Click Options... next to Notify Users to open its dialog box:
- Configure which users to notify when the event occurs:
- a.
- Select All Users to have PowerChute plus send the notification message to all network users.
- b.
- Select Specific Users to send the notification messages to individual users:
- To change the message, edit the Notification Message text.
Note:
Changing the Notification Message text has no effect on the default message text in the [PopupText] or [EventText] section of the PowerChute plus initialization file.
- Use the Wait field to define how long PowerChute plus waits before notifying users (
5
seconds by default).
Note:
PowerChute plus notifies users only when the event lasts for the defined Wait period. For example, for a setting of 10
, administrators are not notified if the event lasts less than 10 seconds.
- Select how often you want the message sent.
- Click OK to save your changes and exit the dialog box.
