Roster Control Using Properties
Alarm Roster behavior is controlled by a set of application properties as described in Alarm Notification System Properties. You can override many of these properties by defining them as settings in a parent Context tag
Note that there are two lists on this page. For properties in the first list, the Context tag must be a parent of the Roster that is to be modified. For the second list, the Context tag must be a parent of the alarm tag or tag containing the built-in alarm.
If the default settings are suitable for all of your rosters, there is no need to also set them in a Context tag. Use the information in this topic only if you need to override the default behavior for certain rosters or alarms.
Settings that may be added to a Context parent of a Roster tag:
EnableRosterListRepeat
If TRUE, a roster calling out alarms will repeat the roster list indefinitely if the last contact has the "Continue Roster Sequence" check box selected, or if it is a voice contact and no key press is detected on the call.
If FALSE, all alarms in the roster's list are notified at the end of the contact list, so that the roster contact list is not repeated.
RosterListDelay
The number of seconds to wait before repeating the roster list.
RosterDelay
The interval between contacts.
CalloutDelay1
Delay for Priority 1 alarms.
CalloutDelay2
Delay for Priority 2 alarms.
GiveUpCallTimeout
How long we wait before giving up on a voice call attempt.
HideMenuOnOutgoing
True to prevent navigation back to the main voice menu on an outgoing call.
SkipLogonDialOut
When set TRUE, the challenge / response for calls that dial out to the user will be disabled. The user will not be able to return to the main menu.
DialerLocation
The introductory phrase uttered by the dialer. Defaults to "This is the VTScada System".
LimitRosterToParentDB
When LimitRosterToParentDB is TRUE (default) a Roster that is a child of a custom AlarmDatabase will see only alarms in that database. If set to FALSE, the Roster will report alarms that have a matching area but exist in a different AlarmDatabase.
PINRetries
The number of times a user is allowed to attempt their PIN before the call will be disconnected.
DialerAckIndividualAlarms
If true, a user is given the option of acknowledging each alarm individually, as opposed to all or nothing.

The number of times a menu will repeat without a user response before the dialer hangs up.
NotificationErrorDelay
The delay between attempts that follow a failure to deliver the message on the first run-through of the roster.
