I am monitoring 3 groups of devices on 3 separate wug boxes (ups wug, students wug, & admin wug) Is it possible in the recurring report message to specify which group I am getting the report from. It is not possible in v6.

The method is still the same: you select all the devices you want to modify and right click "Add Alerts to Selected Devices". However the dialog allows you to add to all selected, change any that are currently on any or all of the devices. Remove any or all. Modify any or all. You can even copy one notification that is on one device to all that were selected. You can delete all notifications from all devices that have it too. [This is done the same way that you change the read write permissions on a selection of files in explorer - you may have seen a checkbox that has a gray state (which means "some" in the selection have this property). We use this same method with notifications, we use "tri-state" checkboxes (on, off, on for some).] If you had 3 devices with some notifications on them: Device A Sound Notification Device B Sound Notification Mail Notification Device C Sound Notification If you selected them all, right clicked and selected "Add Alerts to Selected Devices" you would see a table that would contain 2 notifications Sound Notification Mail Notification Sound would have a check next to it (indicating it was on "all" devices selected) Mail would have a gray check next to it (indicating it was on "some" devices selected). If you unchecked Sound, it would be removed from all devices. If you picked on the gray Mail checkbox it would become checked normally, so Mail would get placed on all devices. If you picked it again it would uncheck, meaning it would be removed from all devices. Picking it again gets you back to the gray state again (meaning it is on some devices). V7 online help describes this well: NOTE: Alerts that have been added to any of the selected devices appear in the dialog box. There is a tri-state check box beside all alerts. � If the alert is assigned to ALL selected devices, the check box is selected and is white. � If the alert is assigned to SOME of the selected devices, the check box is selected and is gray. � You can toggle the check box through the different states by clicking on it and seeing the different states. � If you want to remove the alert from the selected devices, continue clicking the check box until the check mark is removed. � You can also assign the alert to all of the selected devices by clicking the check box until the check mark appears and the box is white. enjoy Adrian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Carty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:28 PM Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Recurring Notifications > You don't have to do this one device at a time, you can select a block > of them and replace all alerts at once (it does mean you have to redo > the ones that were originally there though).
