When you create an Alert Notification Profile in the gateway, you can then add Distribution Groups, which asks for a name, and an expression. That expression uses the same expression language that Ignition uses, but also has special alert properties you can reference. The following link, under the “Notification Settings” header, has a list of the special alert properties you can reference:

[inductiveautomation.com/support/ … b=severity](http://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/alerting_properties.htm?zoom_highlightsub=severity)

That expression will act as a filter for that Distribution Group, and only if the expression evaluates to true (or “valid”) will the members of that group receive an e-mail.

Thanks for your replay.  
My application is monitoring system for different project.each project have different tags .  
I need to make experission command relate to project name .means  
If the alarms acheive in project name ( demo1) send email to [demo@xxx.com](mailto:demo@xxx.com).  
I have ome project called master which switching between project.each client have it’s own password and username by this password he can launch it’s own project.  
Hopefully my idea is clear.  
Thanks

Just simply put the tags into two separate folders, one for project 1 and one for project 2. Your can have one notification group for project 1 folder and one for project 2 folder. Each group can have their own set of contacts to send emails to.

</div>

The expression looks like this:`{[Item_Path]} LIKE 'Folder A/*'`You can create two of them with different folder names. You are looking at the item path of the tag to see what folder it is in. The tag function gets the value of the tag and we don’t need that.
