If you would like to add it, go to Daily Planner Settings and select your asset from the list. From the Parameters tab, toggle Visibility to the On position. This adds Visibility values to your Daily Planner as shown below: ![](https://www.weatherops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/visibility-parameter.png?width=975&height=576&name=visibility-parameter.png) If you would like to add Visibility as a Trigger in your Daily Planner or Weather Check, toggle visibility on in the Triggers tab. The Red-Yellow-Green levels can be customized to meet your needs. The default trigger settings for visibility are: - Red ≤ 2 miles (3 km) - Yellow ≤ 3 miles (6 km) - Green > 3 miles (6 km) - Adding Visibility as a trigger adds it to the red-yellow-green matrix, based on your thresholds configured. ### **New: Marine Swell Height and Swell Period Triggers** Swell Height and Swell Period were added as triggers to the Marine Daily Planner and Weather Check. These triggers are turned on by default, with the following thresholds: Swell Height: - Red ≥ 19 ft (6 m) - Yellow ≥ 8 ft (2.5 m) - Green < 8 ft (2.5 m) Swell Period: - Red ≥ 12 seconds - Yellow ≥ 6 seconds - Green < 6 seconds ### Have a question not answered here?
