Set notification modes, indicating the control interval, addressees and whether notifications should be sent at the end of the control interval for each change (single notification) or if a single notification should be sent for all changes (cumulative notification). Select any PlantVisor PRO users who have parameter editing permission. Changes made by a PlantVisorPRO user with editing permissions do not generate notifications.
