Alarm Category

The alarm category refers to the classification of alarms based on specific criteria or requirements related to a particular client. The tagging is specific to individual clients within the organization. This categorization allows for a tailored approach to monitor and respond to alarms based on the unique needs or preferences of individual clients. By associating alarms with specific categories designated for clients, the alarm system can provide more customized and client-specific notifications, ensuring that the response strategies align with the expectations and priorities of each client.
