  4. Select the notification type: Alert, warning or information.

  5. Enter the notification text.

  6. Select an asset where an event has occurred.

  7. Define when the notification is to be triggered by specifying at least one variable to be monitored and a corresponding comparison value.

    To create a condition, select one of the operands >, =, <, and <>.

  8. If needed, insert another line and link it with "and" or "or".

  9. To copy an existing condition and paste it directly below, click 159020207883.png.

    For example, you can quickly create a rule along the lines of "Variable is less than ... OR is greater than ...".

  10. To change the order of the conditions, drag-and-drop an entry to a different location.
