Text Input Alerts
EP
The Text Input Alerts page allows configuration of Text Input Alerts that require alert event detection
from Data Inputs. The Text Input Alerts menu item is only available when Event Processing System is
enabled.
Text Input Alerts are auto-detected and auto-registered by the system once a Data Connection is
created that links a Data Input to the Event Processing System. The Text Input Alert is not processed by
the system until an Alert Type value is assigned to a specific Text Input Alert.

Filter
The Filter field allows you to search the grid for any text value. The grid auto-adjusts to show you
records that contain the filter value. To clear the filter, remove the filter text, press the Enter key when
the cursor is in a blank Filter field, or refresh the page.
ID
The ID field is a reference field identifying the database record ID value
Name
The reference name for the Text Input Alert. Used for assigning the alert to one or more Zones.
Incoming Alert Msg
The unique alert message that the associated Data Input outputs for a given alert. Incoming Alert
Message records are automatically created by the server, and the Incoming Alert Message value is non-
editable. When the system detects an incoming Data Input alert message, it will compare that to the
Incoming Alert Msg field in this table, and generate a new active alert if there is a match and if the Alert
Type value for this Text Input Alert is other than Unassigned.
Source
The name of the Data Input that the Text Input Alert originated from.
