Overview
•For Device or Wireless Device on an Alarm or a Normal event trigger, an action URL can be executed
•There are three escalation levels for an Alarm event trigger and one level for a Normal event trigger
•Each action URL can be executed with a delay and Alarm event action URL escalations can be executed with a periodicity specified in minutes

1.Facility selection
2.Name
3.Description, not required
4.Active checkmark to enable or disable the Device Action
5.Delayed trigger execution in seconds
6.Repeat trigger execution in minutes
7.URL request type, GET, POST or EXE. For EXE type, a local absolute path to an executable file is specified, i.e.: C:\path_to_file\file.exe
8.URL to send a request or PATH to execute
9.Several system URL's can be generated using a URL generation tool
10.Second level escalation step for an alarm event, options are the same as in the first level
11.Third level escalation step for an alarm event, options are the same as in the first level
12.Normal event trigger, options are the same as in the first level, except without Delayed or Repeat entry fields
13.General Patterns that exist for both Device and Wireless Device types
a.Patterns can be used in a URL or Data fields and replaced with real values, i.e.: Data = 'This is some data from <%Room%> on floor <%Floor%>', and when this Device Action is attached to a Device and there occurs an event trigger, in the processing stage the Data field values surrounded by <% %> will be replaced with actual values of the Device entry and we would have something similar to Data = 'This is some data from Room 101 on floor 3'
14.Device Specific Patterns, that can only be used for Device types
15.Wireless Device Specific Patterns, that can only be used for Wireless Device types
