Hi Matt, Yes you are correct, I see this now. The Notification view will not update automatically when you make a change to the time on one of the alerts. The time as configured is actually respected however. This a known Notifications view redraw problem in v7.00 and is fixed in the next maintenance release.
This is also true if you add a new alert, the view will not update. That is this view will not update when changes are made to notifications. The work around is to force an update, the easiest way to do this without closing the map is to use the Window menu. Do a "Window | New Window" which will open a second window into the map, note that the Notifications view is up to date. You can freely close the first window to this map and leave the second one open. Eventhough there are two windows open the actual map is only open once, both windows refer to the same map data. (You can prove this to yourself by moving a device in one window and seeing it move in the second one) This a known Notifications view redraw problem. thanx for the feedback, Adrian. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Reed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 10:10 AM Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] bug confirmation? > Adrian, > > I think I found the 'bug'.
