Each sensor and each state of each sensor may have its own notification settings. This is useful because different situations often require handling by different staff members. For example, Low warning and Low critical alerts can be sent to maintenance staff while High warning and High critical alert can be sent to IT support and then head of maintenance.

In addition when using comparatively expensive notifications like MMS, or potentially annoying notifications like the Sound Alarm it is may be desirable to limit their occurrence. These notifications can now be limited based upon a range of factors such as the calendar and the length of time that a particular sensor has been in a particular state. They can even be escalated. For example a temperature sensor in the High Critical status may play one sound, but if that sensor remains in that status for a period of time, then the sound will change, as will its volume.
