Creating a Policy
Adding policies is essential if you want to receive alerts and notifications for certain events. Policies can be assigned per device, and notifications can be assigned for different days and times.
1. Navigate to "Settings" and select "Manage Alert Policies." |
2. Select the type of device you want to create a policy for from the selection across the top. The device you are creating a policy for will be highlighted in blue when selected; in this example, "Cameras" is selected. Then select "Add Policy." |
3. Provide the policy a name and description, then click "Confirm." |
4. Select the type of event you want to include in the policy from the selection across the top. A window will pop up for you to select the schedule you want to use to capture these events. Different schedules can be used for different events in the same policy. The policy will auto-save as you make adjustments. |
5. Custom schedules can be edited by selecting "Edit" next to the schedule name. |
6. You can add additional schedules to an existing event by selecting "Add Schedule." |
7. You can edit an assigned schedule by selecting the blue pen next to the schedule. |
8. You can remove a schedule for an event by selecting the "X" next to the timeframe. If only one timeframe exists, the event will be removed from the policy. |
Editing a Policy
1. To edit an existing policy, click on the policy name. This will take you to the policy where you can add events or edit schedules. |
Deleting a Policy
1. Select the name of the policy you want to delete. |
2. Click "Delete Policy." |
3. Confirm the deletion by clicking the red "Delete Policy" button. |
Assigning a Policy
There are a couple of ways to assign or switch a policy to a device.
Assign via Devices Page
1. Navigate to the "Devices Page" and select the type of device you want to assign a policy to. |
2. Click on the name of the device. |
3. Scroll down and select "Settings and Details." |
4. Click "Assign to policy." |
5. If the device already has a policy assigned to it, you can click either "Manage settings" or "Assign to different policy" depending on your needs. |
Assign/Unassign via Settings Page
1. Navigate to the "Settings" page and select "Manage Alert Policies." |
2. Click on the type of device and then the name of the policy you want to add to a device. |
3. Click "Assigned [Device Type]" and then select "Add Device." |
4. Click on the device you wish to add to the policy. You can also toggle over to devices with other policies to add them to the current policy instead or toggle over to view devices already assigned to this policy and remove them if you wish. Click "Save" when finished. |
5. To remove any devices assigned to the policy, you can click "Unassign." |
Clone a Policy
1. Navigate to the "Settings" page and select "Manage Alert Policies." |
2. Click on the type of device and then the name of the policy you want to clone. |
