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 dropdown menu. A set of currently-defined notifiers appears, with a
check box next to each. To create the group notifier, check the appropriate
boxes in 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 in turn check their schedules, and send the notification if desired.
Notes:
- It is normal for a group notifier's schedule to be 24 x 7,
so that the underlying notifiers will govern when they are sent.
- When attaching a group notifier to a device, leave its component
notifiers' boxes unchecked. Otherwise, duplicate notifications are sent (once
for the group and again for the component).
