On-Call Roster Overview

The On-Call Roster lets you create user groups to be notified when an alarm occurs. Each group includes a list of users in a specific order. Alarm pipeline's notification blocks must choose an on-call roster which identifies the users to notify for that notification block. Depending on the alarm notification profile used, the users can be notified one at a time (sequential), or all at once (parallel). It is important to remember that when an on-call roster is used for alarm notification, only those users on the roster whose schedules are active will be notified.

To create and manage the on-call roster

  1. Go to the Configure section of the Gateway.

  2. Choose Alarming > On-Call Rosters from the menu on the left.
    The On-Call Rosters page is displayed.

    You can create as many rosters as you wish.

Roster management can take place from a Vision Client.

  4. Save and Publish your project.
    Client users can now manage the roster by re-arranging and adding/removing names to the roster.
    You can interact with the listed rosters by double-clicking them or selecting them and clicking on the edit icon in the upper right.
