From these cards you can add and edit detailed information for selected Customer contacts.
The Contact List contains all persons and entities that have access to a property. Not everyone may be contacted in the event of an alarm. However, if a person has any sort of access to the property, the person must be listed on the Contact List. Having everyone with access listed allows for tracking as well as contact should a particular individual set off an alarm.
Notes:
- To see the Temp Open Time for a selected technician, the Can Open/Close Within Temp Open Window option must be selected on the Contact Edit card.
- Removing persons from the Contact List will also remove any Asset Tracking entries that are links to the individual. When you remove a tracking entry, Manitou 2.0 removes all Transmitter and Event Programming for that Tracking ID.
