Create an account with Affiliated Monitoring
The next steps are part of the Create page. These are the data points being sent to Affiliated Monitoring.
Customer Information
This is the customer's basic information. Note: The name and address are not editable here. If you want to edit those, you will need to exit this screen and edit them on the customer record directly.
Template
These are set up in the Admin side. If nothing is set up there, this dropdown list will be empty.
Emergency Contacts
Set up or edit the Emergency Contacts here. Note: We don't send the full emergency contact details to Affiliated Monitoring. We send the contact's Name and Phone number.
Zones
These are the zones for the equipment. If zones are entered directly with Affiliated Monitoring, we do our best to map them to the equipment in SecurityTrax, but there are instances where these will not line up. In those situations you will see those zones listed out separately.
