Correct, each is successively evaluated from top down
(group then pager in group)
For example if the group is 11am to 4pm
and the pager is 2pm to 10pm
you may only get a page from 2pm to 4pm
(group limiting alerting to 11am to 4pm, then
pager ignoring everything before 2pm and does
not get a chance at anything after 4pm because
the group doesn't pass it on).
For real fun you can put groups in groups :)
