Alarm Templates

Anita Wilknitz Updated by Anita Wilknitz

Some of the alarm settings are common to different alarms. These can be saved in an Alarm Template and can be reused in multiple Alarms.

To create an alarm template, go to the new navigation point 'Alarm Templates' under 'Alarm configuration' and click on 'Add alarm template'.

If you now create a new alarm under 'Alarm configuration', you can simply select the alarm template you have just created:

In the 'Assigned alarms' tab of the alarm templates, you can also see which alarms have used this template:

In case of a change, it is enough to make the change in the template and the change will automatically appear in all assigned alarms.

If you click on 'Edit' next to Alarm Template again after you have selected a template in the alarm, a pop-up appears with the message that the connection to the original template will be lost and asks you if you want to keep the settings of the template:

An alarm template cannot be assigned to an alarm if the configurations in the template and the alarm are incompatible. For example, if the alarm template has an alarm goal set, but the alarm itself uses a group-based goal, they are not compatible and an error message will appear. Another example: if an alarm is set up with system launch media and is assigned to a job, you cannot assign an alarm template that does not have system launch media configured.
If an existing alarm with Application launch media is assigned to a profile and you assign to this a template which does not have that the alarm will be removed from the profile.
