Alerts
From VersaVision Support
Alerts are Monitoring Points that can be setup on any VersaCall Module. Generally, Alerts are used to signal there is an issue or a request for help.
Each Module configuration differs when setting up an Alert. This page will provide information on each property required to setup an Alert.
To access the Alert setup, the user will need to select an existing Alert under Monitoring Points or select to Add a new Alert.
