Notification Class Bulk Editor

The Notification Class Bulk Editor allows you to edit multiple notification classes at the same time. Additionally, the editor also allows you to delete recipients that are no longer used, or copy recipients from one notification class to another in the same or in different devices.

A recipient is a device that receives BACnet events, such as alarms and trends, from BACnet objects that have the capability to generate events. A notification class is a BACnet object that contains information about how and where to send the events generated by BACnet objects. The list of devices where the event should be sent is called a recipient list.

Recipient Selection Area

The Recipient Selection Area displays BACnet networks, devices, and notification class recipients.

When you open the Notification Class Bulk Editor expander, the management station finds and displays devices with notification class recipients on the BACnet network. By opening the expander while pressing SHIFT, you can view a collapsed list of recipients. This is helpful if your site has a large number of devices with notification class recipients.

Current Recipient Selection Area

The Recipient column of this area reflects the current selection from the Recipient Selection Tree.

Several attributes display as well, some related to the recipient, and others related to the device hosting the notification class and the notification class itself.

Recipient Operation Area

The Recipient Operation Area is where you select locations (notification classes) that the recipient is deleted from or copied to. You can select individual or all locations.
