With PRIORITY set to ON, SMS alerts are sent to the highest priority contacts first, then the next highest after a time delay, and so on. In addition, each alerted contact has the option to send a confirmation receipt message back to the Power Executive to cancel the sending of the alert message to lower priority contacts.

When using Nametags, the Nametag is substituted in SMS messages when referring to the appropriate device.
