Add contacts and contact groups for alert notifications and report subscriptions in Step 3 of the Device Setup.

The Contacts step of the Device Setup provides a tool for users to add contacts to be used for alert notifications and report subscriptions. This is similar to an address book in your email account or smartphone. Contact Groups offer the ability to group contacts into a list. These contact groups can then be used for alert notifications. Following the instructions below to add Contacts and Contact Groups.

ℹ️

Note Contacts and Contact Groups are global settings, meaning once you create contacts or contact groups they will be accessible from any device.

Getting to the Device Setup page:

To get to the Device Setup follow the instructions below:

Click the menu icon at the top left of the screen, then select "Devices".

From the Device List, click on the name of the device would like to setup.

From the Device Dashboard, click the menu icon at the top left of the screen, then select "Setup" under the Device header.

Next, click "3 Contacts" at the top of the wizard.

Create a Contact:

First, click the "Add" button at the bottom-left of the wizard.

Complete the contact form, including name, email, phone, and phone carrier. NOTE: Only one contact method is required. However, keep in mind that without an email address the contact will not be able to use the report subscription feature. Phone carrier is required in order to successfully receive alert notifications from Datablaze.

Create a Contact Group:

First, click the "Groups" tab.

When selecting contacts for notifications, all individual contacts and contact groups are shown in the selection box. In order to differentiate between individual contacts and contact groups, be careful to name the Group something identifiable.

Then, check the boxes next to the contacts you would like to add to the group. NOTE: Each individual contact may have two contact methods, Phone and/or Email.

Once all contacts have been selected, click the left arrow button to move them to the Group Contents box.

To remove contacts from the group, click on the contact in the Group Contents box, then click the right-arrow button.

Now that the selected contacts are in the Group Contents, click the "Save" button at the bottom-left of the window.

The card will be highlighted in blue, once the card is highlighted, click the Edit button at the bottom-left of the screen. Alternatively, you can double-click the card to Edit.

Make adjustments as necessary, then click the "Update" button.
