Contacts Editor

Overview & Concepts

The Contacts Editor in EBPro is a centralized tool for managing contact information used by notification and messaging features within an HMI project. Instead of entering recipient information separately for each alarm or notification, contacts can be defined once and reused throughout the project.

Common contact information that can be stored includes:

• Email recipients
• Push notification recipients
• Messaging service accounts
• Operator, maintenance, and supervisor contact information

The Contacts Editor works with features such as Email, Event Notification, and EasyAccess 2.0 push notifications. When an alarm or event occurs, the HMI can automatically use the stored contact information to determine who should receive the notification.

By separating recipient information from the notification logic, the Contacts Editor makes projects easier to maintain and scale. Contact information can be updated in a single location, helping ensure alerts and status messages are consistently delivered to the appropriate personnel.

Click the Contacts Editor icon on the toolbar to create a Contacts Editor object. Or, click [Objects] » [Contacts Editor] in the menu.
