A Method Action allows Geo SCADA Expert to automatically perform an action on an item in the database. For instance, to automatically send a control to switch on a pump, or to close a breaker.
You need to configure a separate Method Action for each different action that you want to occur. You also need to specify the individual database item on which the action is to be carried out.
For further information, see Configure a Redirection Action, and see Define the Method Action Details.
Geo SCADA Expert can be configured to trigger a particular Method Action immediately, whenever an alarm state change occurs, regardless of the alarm priority or when the alarm changes state. If this is required, consider whether to configure a Method on the Alarm tab of a Form (see Configure a Method Action to Trigger at Every Alarm State Change in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration).
To extend the alarm redirection functionality further, consider using a Method Action (User) redirection action. This redirects alarms to specific user(s), and you can design extensions to, for example, enable Geo SCADA Expert to interface with a third-party alarm redirection application. Use that application to provide the required redirection functionality (such as voice alarm announcement).
