Using Group Notifiers
Intermapper can group notifiers together so that a transition to a particular device state sends multiple notifiers, even of different types, for that event.To create a Group notifier, select Group from the Notifier Type menu. A set of currently-defined notifiers is displayed, with a check box next to each. To create the group notifier, select the appropriate check boxes from the list.
How it Works
When the Group notifier is invoked, Intermapper first checks the time schedule. If the time is applicable, Intermapper invokes each of the checked notifiers. They then check their schedules and send the notification as appropriate.
- It is normal for a group notifier's schedule to be 24 x 7, so that the underlying notifiers govern when they are sent.
- When attaching a group notifier to a device, clear its component notifiers' boxes. Otherwise, duplicate notifications are sent (once for the group and again for the component).
