When rules active

Frequency of Alerts

An initial alert is always sent when an excursion happens (at 0 minutes)

Additional alerts can be defined as follows:

Send additional alert every:

- 60 min (1 x hour)

- 30 min (2 x hour)

- 15 min (4 x hour)

- 10 min (6 x hour)

It is also possible to define how often above rule applies i.e. should the system send additional alarm every 15 minutes for the first hour and repeat every 5 hours. This means that the supervisor gets one alarm when the excursion occurs, 4 alarms for the next hour (15 min apart) and if the excursion still exist after 5 hours, the additional alerts will be repeated.

Possible repeats:

- Every 1 hour

- Every 5 hours

- Every 12 hours

- Every 24 hours

- Every week
