# New/Edit Notifier window

- Note: this window is only included in the standard edition of Simon, not Simon Express and Simon Free. Learn more...

The New Notifier and Edit Notifier windows are typically accessed via the Notifiers window when the FileNew Notifier... or FileEdit Notifier... menu commands or the corresponding toolbar buttons are chosen.

This window is divided into four pages. Below is a brief description of each; click on the page name for more information about each:

Summary: The first page includes fields where you can name this notifier and write comments about it, plus an overview of the other pages.

Options: This page lets you specify how this notifier should be categorized: for changes, for failures, for recoveries, or some combination. Some notifiers are useful for all, but some (e.g. that have text saying a site is down) are only appropriate for a specific type of event.

Notifier Kind: Choose the notifier plug-in on this page. Simon uses plug-ins to provide the actual notification functionality, allowing greater flexibility and expandability.

Auto Pause: This feature allows you to suspend this notifier on specified days (or any day) and times, without stopping the check from occurring. Useful to avoid receiving notifications at inconvenient times, like when you're asleep.
