For many years, Device ManageR was our primary software for local Room Alert alerting, reporting, graphing and management. Though it has been an incredible platform widely used by thousands of customers since its introduction in 2008, we now have invested a massive engineering effort into even better service for our customers. A couple of months ago, we provided a more detailed look at the features that will be included in the initial launch of Room Alert Manager, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/19467\/room-alert-manager-easier-alerting-firmware-more\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">easier alerting and firmware updates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Room Alert Manager takes all the popular features that we know our customers enjoyed in Device ManageR and adds even more useful capabilities to take proactive environment monitoring to the next level. Room Alert Manager brings our dependable environment monitoring to a platform that is more user-friendly and robust than ever before. Room Alert Manager is a whole new interface with new alerting features and much more! Room Alert Manager has a similar look and feel to our online <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/19043\/customizing-alerts-reports-maps-in-room-alert-account\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Room Alert Account<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> service, with more feature releases coming regularly throughout 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><b>What To Expect In The Initial Launch<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Reports-1024x490.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19649\" width=\"369\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Reports-1024x490.png 1024w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Reports-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Reports-768x367.png 768w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Reports.png 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On your first installation, users will notice that Room Alert Manager is extremely responsive. You can access it on any device such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone. You\u2019ll also notice our team pulled heavily from the great usability and layout in our trusted Room Alert Account. None of this was previously available in Device ManageR. When you first log in, by default, you\u2019ll see your <\/span><b>Device Inventory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a list of your registered devices. For an improved user experience, you can filter this list by discovery status, firmware version, etc. For an improved user experience in terms of reporting, we\u2019re logging all sensor data so users can select any registered device and download a CSV file. Soon users will be able to use that sensor history to generate interactive reports similar to what is possible in Room Alert Account. Another big improvement is firmware updates are effortless in Room Alert Manager. Simply click \u201cUpdate Firmware\u201d next to the correct device, click \u201cUpdate Now\u201d in the new window that pops up. Now you\u2019re immediately downloading and installing the newest firmware.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><b>What Is New<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Alert_Setup-1024x495.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19653\" width=\"347\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Alert_Setup-1024x495.png 1024w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Alert_Setup-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Alert_Setup-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RAM_Alert_Setup.png 1348w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two new features coming in the initial launch of Room Alert Manager are the addition of <\/span><b>users<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>groups<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In Room Alert Manager, we have multi-level users. Now when adding new users, you have 3 options to pick from under \u201crole\u201d: <\/span><b>viewer, manager and administrator.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Viewers have limited read-only access to devices and settings in the group they are assigned to so they cannot edit or create information. Managers have the ability to read and write to devices and settings in the group they are assigned to, allowing them to change device settings that they have access to. Administrators have full access across the application.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Groups<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are where the benefits of multi-level users really come into play. Users can create subgroups to categorize their devices. This hierarchy allows you to assign users and devices to specific groups. This feature allows users to be able to fully customize exactly what people are given access to such as view-only or editing etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, alerts are becoming even easier to set up, but with more options than ever before, because Room Alert Manager is walking you through the process in a step by step workflow. You\u2019ll find the layout familiar if you have previously set up alerts in your Room Alert Account. Within alerting, we have features like <\/span><b>multiple threshold alerts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where users can assign multiple different threshold criteria on the same alert. Users can also customize <\/span><b>durations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on alerts, meaning the alert must be in an alarm state for whatever amount of time you set, so you\u2019re only notified when necessary. Advanced alerting will also offer the option for an escalation of actions. This gives users the ability to create a chain of actions that will take place as a triggered alarm remains in progress, so you\u2019re notifying your staff in the correct order.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><b>Room Alert Manager 2021: A Future Roadmap<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/20851\/room-alert-manager-changes\/\">AN UPDATED ROOM ALERT MANAGER ROADMAP AS OF JANUARY 8, 2021 IS NOW AVAILABLE BY CLICKING THIS LINK<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the initial Room Alert Manager release, there will be a series of feature releases that will be coming out in 2021.
