Alarm Triggers
The quickest way to create an alarm trigger, is to click on the widget of a tag that you wish to create an alarm for. In this example below, I am clicking on the Site 1/Flare Temp widget to enable the Notifications for that tag.

To create an alarm notification for a tag that is not displayed on a dashboard - Navigate to the tag in the Tags tree, and click on the tag. This will display the popup items as below, then click on the Notifications option with the bell icon.
Setup a Notification Trigger
In this example, the notification will:
Trigger when the Flare Temp rises above 1900F
With the Orange severity of "Alarm"
It will repeat 2 times, for a total of 3 messages, 5 minutes apart. (Repeat is stopped by acknowledging the alarm.)
It will message Bob Ross by his preferred Contact Preferences
Triggers
When data is not being updated to InSite the tag will report "NA". A trigger on a tag for NA can alert personnel that there is an issue with the system, control panel, or data connection.InSite offers the ability to create custom triggers
InSite offers the ability to create your own custom trigger using your own formula, and written similar to Javascript. When the Custom Formula option is selected it will auto-populate with the data entered in any previous selection.
This option also allows for a custom message to appear in your Notification email/text and on the Notifications screen on InSite!

Report Trigger
A trigger does not need to have a recipient. Leaving the recipients blank is a way to create a trigger that is simply used in a report's settings.
