Creating custom notifications

NOTE

Custom notifications are available for certain hoist types only.

Navigating to your asset-level notification settings

Sign into the StatusControl portal at https://statuscontrol.demagcranes.com.
Access your user profile and select Notification Settings.
Make sure that your StatusControl notifications are on.
Select the customer and location of the assets (cranes) from which you want to get custom notifications.
You can select many customers and locations at a time, or proceed one by one.
Select the arrowhead button of the location where the asset (crane) is.

Setting up a custom notification

Open the notification details of the asset with the arrowhead button.
Select Add Custom Notification.

Fill in the fields.


Field	Instruction
Type	Select the notification type (for the correct hoist, if multiple). Cycles: In practice, one hoisting cycle corresponds to one lift with a load. Running time: Refers to the running hours of the hoisting motor. Starts: Refers to the starts of the hoisting motor, with the movement being up or down. If the list is empty, it means that custom notifications are not available for the hoist.
Set Interval	Give the interval after which the notification is sent to you. For running time, enter the number of hours. For starts and cycles, enter the number of starts or cycles. Use only numbers without any spaces or other dividers. A tooltip appears if you enter invalid characters.
Notification Message	Enter the message that you want to get. The maximum number of characters is 100. A tooltip appears if the message is too long.

In this example, we want to get a notification that reminds us to inspect the hoisting brake after 2,000 starts. The starts are counted from this moment on.

Apply your changes.

The notification appears under the asset. The notification applies only to this asset, and it is turned on by default. The Remaining counter reflects the current number of running hours, starts, or cycles after which you get the message.
To edit the notification, use the following functions.
1. Reset the Remaining counter to your original Interval value
2. Turn off the notification
3. Delete the notification
4. Apply your changes
Go back to the customer/location level table by scrolling up and selecting Back top left.
To exit your user profile, select the Back button again.

When the counter reaches the set value, you get an email message, with the text that you entered in the Notification Message field as its description. The counter then starts over, meaning that you keep getting an email message until you delete or turn off the notification.
