Instructions for Event Alerts using the PER BRAND method

Please note: Event Alerts will notify you once a specific set of circumstances you've defined are met. 

For example: once the gravity readings drop below 3 P, or once the pH readings drop to 4 AND fluid temperature readings rise above 70 F.  You can have multiple Event Alerts set for a single fermentation, with multiple circumstances that need to be met before the email and/or text alert is sent for each Event Alert.

1. Follow the instructions in the section above until you've set all of the Ranged alerts to your specifications
   
2. Scroll down to the Event Alerts window, located directly below the STATIC, DYNAMIC, and DISABLE buttons
   
3. Click on the green button featuring three horizontal white lines, located immediately to the left of the Event Alerts heading.  A green + button, along with a greyed-out APPLY button will appear directly below
   
4. Click on the green + button that just appeared, and a grey window will pop up below the Event Alerts heading (screenshot below)
   
1. Enter the name of the Event Alert in the Event Name field.  For example: "Hop" or "Cold Crash".
   
2. In the green drop-down, select the parameter you want to set the alert for. In the text field, type in the specific reading at which the alert will be sent.  For example: 3, 4, 30, etc
   
3. In the middle row, select how you want the system to interact with that reading.  The options are:
   
1. Greater Than
   
2. Greater Than or Equal To
   
3. Equal To
   
4. Less Than or Equal To
   
5. Less Than
   
4. In the text field, type in the specific reading at which the alert will be sent.  For example: 3, 4, 30, etc
   
5. If you would like the Event Alert to be sent when multiple circumstances happen at once, click the + button.  You can add as many sets of circumstances as you would like, and you can remove them using the red - button that appears directly to the right
   
6. Fill in the new fields using the instructions from steps i-iii above
   
7. Once you have all Event Alerts finalized, click on the green APPLY button at the bottom of the window
   
8. Save all of your new settings by clicking on the UPDATE BRAND button, located at the top of the page, just under the General Information section
