Templates can be used to define the alarm that is delivered via the alarm dialer (voice, email or pager) or via the text-to-speech feature. These templates can use a combination of words and replaceable symbols to define the content of the alarm message.
Separate templates are available for each of:
• Spoken alarms see: AlarmSpeechTemplate
• The alarm dialer see: AlarmDialerTemplate
• Emailed alarms see: AlarmEmailTemplate
• Paged alarm messages see: AlarmPagerTemplate
There are also two template configuration options that set the format used for the date and time if these parameters are used as part of the template.
• Date Format see: AlarmTemplateDateFmt
• Time Format see: AlarmTemplateTimeFmt
The complete list of replaceable parameters is as follows:
