What is a notification?

Notifications are triggered when an event takes place.

There are several events that can generate a notification. A notification can be sent when:

  • a sensor value passes a certain threshold rule
  • a KPI value passes a certain KPI target
  • a Task is created. In this case also the "Task watchers" receive a notification
  • a user adds a comment or reply in the sensor or KPI timelines or conversations page.

View notifications

Notifications can be found in several places in the Insight app and are represented by the Notification_2.png icon.

On the machine overview page all notifications received can be found in the notification centre (1). On the machine tile you can see the number of notifications received for that machine (2).

Notifications can also be found on the machine timeline, the comments and events timelines for Sensors and KPIs, and also the conversations page. If a comment or event has triggered a notification, this is marked with the Notification_2.pngicon (3).

Click on the create comment button (4). When you have typed the comment, by default a notification is sent. If you do want to create the comment but do not want to send a notification, click on the notification icon (5). The icon will change into Notifictions_7.pngicon and no notification will be sent.

 

Mute notifications

 

Muting means that you no longer will receive notifications.  

You can choose for how long you want to mute notifications:

  • 1 hour
  • 8 hours
  • Always

You can also choose to still receive emergency notifications during the muted period.  

Muting and unmuting notifications can be done at different levels:

  • For a machine as a whole. In this case you mute all notifications related to a specific machine, whether triggered by machine events or user comments.
