An Action Plan (along with an associated Alarm Condition Code) may now be identified for a specific Subscriber (in the new Action Plans tab on that Subscriber's Central Station Data Form) which specifies what should always be done when that Action Plan + Condition Code combination is received from any CSID defined for this Subscriber.

 

New Available Actions added to the Action Plans Form

Alarm History - When an Action Plan is directing an Operator, an entry identifying the Action Plan ID is inserted into the Alarm History Detail for that event.
Email Contacts - Choose this as an Action Step to indicate that the Operator will be required to Email the Contact.

For those companies which need it, setting this option to True ("T") in the Company Settings dialog accessible through the Company tab on the User Options Form will restart the Action Plan - that was in effect when an Alarm Signal was placed On Hold - when it is taken Off Hold - from the beginning.

 

The new Automated System Action Plans Service application provides an Action Plan Processing Engine which is used to execute a specific set of predefined instructions (Action Steps) in the background - with no Operator action required.

These Automated System Action Plan Action Steps will be performed for a Subscriber (executed only for the first matching case within the priority order listed below) when the Central Station Monitoring module receives a Signal and:
1.The Alarm Condition Code for that Signal has an Automated System Action Plan assigned to it, or
2.An Automated System Action Plan and designated Alarm Condition Code combination is assigned to the Alarm Dealer whose Subscriber transmitted that Signal, or
3.An Automated System Action Plan and designated Alarm Condition Code combination was entered in the Action Plans tab on the Central Station Data Form in which case, for any Signal with that combination transmitted by the Subscriber - regardless of which Subscriber Panel CSID sent it, or
4.The CSID Zone record which matches that Signal has an Automated System Action Plan assigned to it.
Typically, this feature will be used to Automate the Notification process when only the Subscriber, one of their People To Call, and/or their Alarm Dealer needs to know when a designated Alarm Condition Code was received at the Central Station.
The Action Steps performed for all of the Signals processed by the MKSASP application are stored in the Subscriber's Alarm History file.
