SMS Notify
The SMS Notify sub-tab is where users define the alarm signal types the system will notify contacts of via an SMS message. Please note that these messages are only sent to those contacts who have agreed to receive automated SMS messages. See the Opt In documentation for more information on how to opt contacts into receiving text message notifications.
Users can interact with the SMS Notify tab via the available toolbar options. These options are defined below.
