Rule Conditions
Condition Types Explained
1. Communicator Messages
Podium integrates with various terminal types (e.g., DSAS, MAT) and can generate notifications based on terminal messages such as:
- Power-up notifications
- Battery test reports (must be enabled in the SSAS & Tracking tab)
After selecting Communicator Messages:
- Choose the terminal type.
- Select the message type you want to trigger alerts for.
2. Geo Zone Alerts
Selecting Geo Zones allows you to receive real-time entry/exit alerts when a vessel crosses into or out of predefined geographic zones.
- Choose Geo Zones as the condition.
- A dropdown will display all available zones.
- Select the zone(s) that should trigger the alert.
3. Late/Missing Report Alerts
Podium can notify you when expected vessel reports are overdue.
After selecting Late/Missing Report:
- A dropdown will display reporting metrics available for your terminal types.
- The default trigger uses your account’s standard reporting window.
Configuring the Reporting Interval
Administrators can adjust the reporting interval:
- Go to User Menu → Organisation Settings
- Navigate to Late/Missing Reports > DSAS
- Set a custom reporting interval
4. Threshold Notifications
Threshold rules trigger when a selected operational metric exceeds, meets, or falls below a defined value.
Examples:
- Speed alerts
- Fuel consumption thresholds (for vessels submitting noon reports)
To configure:
- Select Threshold.
- Choose the metric (e.g., speed, RPM, fuel consumption).
- Select the operator:
<,>,=,<=,>=
- Enter the threshold value (units depend on the metric—knots, MT, etc.).
5. Weather Warnings and Alerts
Podium supports two types of weather-based conditions:
- Adverse Weather S5 Standards (predefined severity levels)
- Adverse Weather Custom (user-defined thresholds)
You can configure both warning levels and alert levels and adjust environmental parameters to suit operational needs.
