Subscriptions

Use Subscriptions to automatically email information to users when one of the below events occurs on the Symphony server. This is useful when you want to be notified automatically when some configuration has changed. All email will include the username, IP, date/time, and additional event specific context.

To access the Subscriptions dialog, select Server > Configuration and then the Subscriptions Pane.

To add subscribers to the individual events, simply enter an email address in the corresponding text box. To add multiple recipients of an event, separate the email addresses with a semicolon. When finished, click OK to save changes. The different events are defined below:

Note: In order for this to function properly, a proper SMTP server must be configured on the Symphony PC. Visit Configuring Mail Server for more information.

Note: If you want to be notified via email whenever an alarm occurs, you must set this up under the Rule Actions in the Email tab. This is designed this way to allow different users to be notified only for specific Rules triggers (for example, user A wishes to be notified in a vehicle parks, user B wishes to be notified if people are loitering).
