Schedule Delay
Store email notification messages and send them once the recipient’s schedule is active Each recipient in an email recipient group has a "schedule" setting. If the schedule of the recipient is not active when an email notification message should be sent (time of alarm, return to normal, ...), you can now instruct TopView to queue these emails and send them once the schedule is again active.
Direct-to-pager notification
Call pagers directly and send numeric notification messages Modem Notification can now be used to deliver numeric messages directly to pagers. This is equivalent to dialing a pager phone number and entering a numeric message using the phone keypad.
Acknowledge on return-to-normal
Automatically acknowledge alarms when they return-to-normal Normally, a tag/row becomes unacknowledged when it enters an alarm state and remains unacknowledged after it returns to normal. A new option allows a monitored point to be automatically acknowledged when it returns to normal from an alarm state.
