Modifying the Message Transformation File

To modify the transform for a given group and notification type, complete these steps:

1. Click the Group Manager tab.

2. Select a group in the Groups list. The transformation filename will be modified for the selected group.

3. Click on a notification type in the Message Type list. The highlighted type will be the notification type for which the transformation filename will be modified. The Email, Text/SMS, and Script transformation filename fields display default values for each transformation.

Note: The available Message Formats are configured in the publisher_transformations table, which is populated by the nms_core_publisher.sql file.

4. Modify the filenames associated with each transform.

5. Click Modify Transformation to save the filenames to the database.

Parameter Manager

The Parameter Manager tab is used to add, edit, or remove notification triggering parameter information. A notification triggering parameter is the rule for defining a notification trigger within Service Alert. A parameter consists of a name, a threshold value, a group to notify when a violation occurs, and an associated control zone, asset, or customer. Inactive parameters cannot be violated, and therefore will never trigger a notification.

The Parameter Manager tab allows you to perform the following tasks:

• Adding a Customer Count Parameter

• Adding a Specific Customer Parameter

• Adding a Frequency of Outages Parameter

• Adding a Storm Affecting Control Zone Parameter

• Editing a Parameter

• Removing a Parameter
