messages set to specific 'custom filter' values);

monitoring window, and can also be used by
operators to limit the messages they will see in
the monitoring window;

or not the comment/resolution screen will be
available for each specific event (when working

such, any sounds lasting longer than 2 seconds will be
truncated (i.e., the first two seconds will be repeated).

or SMS messages will be sent.
