Click "Alerts"

Click the "Alert Settings" button.

Click "+ Create New" to configure a new set of alert preferences.

The number of alert profiles is limited to 10. If you have 10 already, you can either edit an existing profile or delete an existing profile to create a new one.

Give the configuration a name and choose a contact to assign it to. Each alert profile can be assigned to one contact.

You can choose an existing contact or set up a new one. Click "New Contact" to set up someone new.

You can also create and modify your contacts using the "Contacts" link.

Enter the contact's name and choose either Phone or Email alerts.

Phone alerts require a phone number and a carrier selection. Email alerts require a valid email address.

You can click "Send Test" to trigger a sample alert to ensure that the phone or email address will receive the alert.

Once all the necessary details are entered, click "Add Contact."

Click "Save & Continue." You should see a green notification that says "Contact added" at the bottom of your screen.

Configuring Alerts

On the left-hand side of your screen, you will see a list of device types. Click on a device type to jump to that section.

Each section will provide an option for "Bulk Selection" meaning you can set alerts for certain events across all applicable devices.

You can also set alert preferences for a specific device using the "Alerts by Device" list. Click "Show All" to expand the alert options for all devices.

Select the alerts you want to receive for this device. Choices will vary based on the device type and device configuration.

Some alerts require additional parameters or thresholds.

You can determine how many times an alert will be sent for key events like PWR Off, Safety Faults, and Theft Monitoring. Finally, you can choose to receive timed status updates for the device at a specific time each day.

Repeat this process for each device you'd like to receive alerts for and click "Save."

Click here to exit the alert configuration screen.

Editing Alert Profiles

Once your alert profile has been created, you can edit it at any time. Click here to see the options for this profile.

Click edit to open the alert preferences screen and modify your profile.

This menu also allows you to duplicate the profile, mute it, or delete it.
