Summary of Configuration Settings Relating to Location-Based Redirection Criteria

Use the table below to determine the database items and configuration settings you should use to redirect alarms according to your location-based criteria requirements.

For more information about a particular configuration setting, select the entry in the table's Configuration Setting column.

The Example Configuration section in this guide contains various worked examples, including ones that relate to location-based redirection criteria. Where an example relates to a particular setting that is listed in the table below, the check mark (✓) provides a link to the relevant example.

Key:

✓ indicates the particular properties that you have to configure for a requirement

✘ indicates a property or option that is not applicable (or a field that should be left empty)

(for example, you can only define a specific ‘Region’ when the Redirection Scheme is set to ‘To Region Users’; as such, the Redirection Scheme options marked ✘ are inapplicable).

Requirement:

1. Redirect alarms regardless of the recipients’ geographical region or location. (This is the only Redirection Scheme option that applies if your system does not use ClearSCADA's Geographical Location features.)
2. Redirect alarms regardless of whether any of the intended recipients are logged on to ClearSCADA via a ViewX client or a WebX client.
3. Only redirect alarms provided that none of the intended recipients are logged on to ClearSCADA from a ViewX client or a WebX client.
4. Only redirect alarms provided that none of the intended recipients are logged on to ClearSCADA from a WebX client.
5. Only redirect alarms provided that none of the intended recipients are logged on to ClearSCADA from a ViewX client.
6. Only redirect alarms when the alarm is raised in a particular geographical region.

   (To specify several geographical regions, configure a separate alarm redirection for each region that is required. You can specify up to 15 alarm redirections per database item and/or per Group.)

7. Redirect alarms to users whose geographical location is within the same region as the alarm.
8. Redirect alarms to users that are deemed to be ‘responsible’ for the region in which the alarm is located.
9. Redirect alarms to users that are deemed to be ‘responsible’ for a specific region (regardless of the actual location of those users).
10. Redirect alarms to a ‘default’ User, User Group, or User Roster, if the intended recipients do not meet the redirection criteria. (For example, if no users happen to be in the same region as the alarm when the redirection is triggered.)
