Notification: TopView sends alarm notification messages through email, SMS,
pagers, and cellular phones. Voice annunciation and text-to-speech
technology allow delivery of audible alarm messages over the phone or
computer's speakers. Write-to-server notification stores alarm and related
messages to string tags in the underlying OPC or PI Server.
Remote access and acknowledge is supported though dial-in phone, networked
PCs, and Windows Mobile devices.

Release details:
----------------
Write-to-Server Notification
Output alarm-related messages to string/character tags on the Server
TopView now supports outputting the alarm, return to normal, and acknowledge
messages to string or character tags on the OPC or PI Server. These messages
can then be monitored, historized, and displayed by any client that has
access to the underlying OPC or PI Server.
Free online demonstration video of Write-to-Server notification in
available.

Schedule Delay
Store email notification messages and send them once the recipient’s
schedule is active
Each recipient in an email recipient group has a "schedule" setting. If the
schedule of the recipient is not active when an email notification message
should be sent (time of alarm, return to normal, ...), you can now instruct
TopView to queue these emails and send them once the schedule is again
active.

Direct-to-pager notification
Call pagers directly and send numeric notification messages
Modem Notification can now be used to deliver numeric messages directly to
pagers. This is equivalent to dialing a pager phone number and entering a
numeric message using the phone keypad.

Acknowledge on return-to-normal
Automatically acknowledge alarms when they return-to-normal
Normally, a tag/row becomes unacknowledged when it enters an alarm state and
remains unacknowledged after it returns to normal. A new option allows a
monitored point to be automatically acknowledged when it returns to normal
from an alarm state.
