Notifiers
Notifiers are event handlers you can attach to almost any Maxwell object type. When a particular event relating to that object occurs, the notifier will wake up and handle whatever task you have specified.
To create Notifiers, navigate to the desired object and click on the triagular Notifier icon on the bottom right side of the object's detail pane. Click the list's '+' button and a new notifier is created for you to configure.
To Create a Notifier
Most Notifiers start at the Track Details pane.
- Find the Track Details pane, expand it, and click Edit to get into Edit mode.
- Click the
icon to view the list of notifiers for this track
- Click the [+] button to create a new notifier
- Give the notifier a distinctive name (Notifier Name)
- Choose what kind of notifier will be used (Notifier Trigger)
- Choose what action the notifier will take when it is triggered (for example: "Email Me")
Kinds of Notifiers
Device-New Track Created
Choose this trigger if you would like to be notified when a new track is created for a device. This can let you know who is monitoring a printer, for example. This notifier is accessed in the Device details pane.
Track - New data measurements
This option will notify you when any new measurement files are uploaded into this Maxell track. If you are tracking a printer, you will be notified when a new target measurement is uploaded into Maxwell. If you are tracking a display, you will be notified as soon as a new monitor profile is created and uploaded into Maxwell.
Track - Tolerance check
Choosing this option will notify you when your track has exceeded the tolerance limits set in the metrics for that track's reference set.
See Maxwell Metrics for more information about setting metrics.
Ownership of Notifiers
Note: An important distinction between Notifiers and almost all other Maxwell objects is their ownership. A Notifier's owner is set to the user who created it rather than the owner of the related object. This allows you to attach Notifiers to objects you don't own. This way you can monitor color standards or other public or private objects for which you have view access.
