What are the functions of the various alarm alerts?

Hi, there... I just got my first Ring alarm and doorbell, and I'm getting bombarded with so many alerts on my phone and iPad that I can't keep up.Within the Ring app, there are a bunch of alert categories, divided into SECURITY and DEVICES, but there's no description what each one does.Similarly, on my phone's notifications, it's not clear what I can disable and what I shouldn't. There were four categories:- Front Door Ring Alerts- Front Door Motion Alerts- Ring Alarm- Ring Alarm - Alarmingand as I was typing this, another one showed up:- NHI've searched the web, Ring's web site, and this forum, and I can't find a comprehensive list of the settings and what each one does.Some are pretty intuitive (to me, at least). For example, "Water Detected"--since I don't have a sensor for that, I can disable it and not worry. On the other hand, what kind of alerts are enabled by "Battery Backup"? Are these alerts to say that the device is using battery backup? Or will it periodically alert me to say "batter backup is fine"? Is "Entry Delay" to tell me that someone has entered and they're within the entry delay? Or does it mean that someone has changed the delay period?My goal is to get push alerts for the things that really matter to me. I don't need the app to tell me that the alarm was just armed, since I just set it and I know it. However, it would be useful to get an alert to tell me that someone has just disarmed it, in case it wasn't me. I don't need an alert on my phone every time a door is opened or closed when the alarm isn't armed. Has anyone found a list of the various alarm alert settings so I can figure out what I want and what I don't? ...thanks!
