How To Save Searches In Room Alert Account
Within Room Alert Account, your organization’s devices and alerts are presented in a table, allowing for easy comparison of data. To find a particular device/alert, or to focus on a specific group of devices/alerts, you can apply filters to the list based on criteria such as Tags, Name, and more. Once you’ve defined a group of filters, you can save it to quickly apply to your list whenever needed.
Filter Your List
To filter your list, please follow the instructions below. In our example, we’ve filtering our Alerts List; the Devices List is structured similarly, but with different filter options.
- Log in to your account at RoomAlert.com.
- Select Alerts from the navigation bar to the left.
- By default, the page loads all of the alerts saved to your account.

- To filter the list, first click into the Search bar.
- A drop-down menu will appear with a variety of available filters.
- In our example, we’ll create a filter on Channel Type, which refers to the type of sensor reading associated with each alert.
- The options in the filter window vary based on the type of filter.
- For the Channel Type filter, there are two fields:
- In the first dropdown menu, you may either select ANY of the following or NONE of the following. (This determines whether you want to include or exclude alerts based on the channel types you choose in the next step.)
- Then select one or more types of channels from the list.

- Once you’ve made your selections, select Add to apply the filter.
- You may click into the Search bar again to add additional filters if desired.
(*The Thresholds filter is coming soon!)

- When multiple items are added to a single filter, they get applied to the list with OR logic.
Example: Channel Type is Heat Index OR Temperature.
- When multiple filters get applied to the list, they use AND logic.
Example: [Channel Type is Heat Index OR Temperature] AND [Threshold is “Heat Index – Base Levels.”]
