Using Preconfigured Comments in Templates
Email/SMS templates using the [Comments] variable, automatically
include either preconfigured comments, or custom comments. The type of
Comments retrieved are defined in an Alarm Template (see “Threshold
Templates” on page 56).
For example, if you set up a Communication Alarm (Alarm Template)
with a notification requirement to send an Email to a specific User when
it is triggered, the preconfigured or custom comment assigned to the
Communication Alarm template appears in the Email notification.
Note: Preconfigured comments can also be used in the Event Log to
provide more information in reports. See “Adding Comments to
Events” on page 127.
