16.6. Multiple Variables

A typical notification could have a number of states, like High, High-High, Low, Low-Low, etc. Rather than assigning specific values for each of these, the template lets you create variables for them, so that you can redefine them once for all notifications using this template, if necessary. Here's how to create the variables:

  1. In the HiLoAlarm template we created previously, in the Configuration Template window, go to the Variable Definitions section.

  2. Use the Add button to create the following variables:

    Variable Name Is Trigger Type
    input Yes Point
    output No Point
    hihilimit No Double
    hilimit No Double
    lolimit No Double
    lololimit No Double

    You can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to rearrange the list.

Now you can create states for these variables.
