Defining Default Notifiers

You can create one or more notifiers that, by default, are attached to every new device you create. When the status of the device changes to a specified state, the notifier sends a notification automatically.

InterMapper ships with one default notifier, called "Default Sounds." It plays a default sound when a device goes down, and another sound when the device comes back up.

To create a set of default notifiers:

  1. From the Edit menu, choose Map Settings... The Map Settings window appears.
  2. Click Edit Default Notifiers...The Default Notifiers window appears, showing a list of defined notifiers, with a column containing a check box for each possible device state.
  3. For each notifier you want to attach to all new devices, select the check box for each state you want to trigger that notifier.
  4. When finished, close the Default Notifiers window. The specified notifiers are automatically attached to each new device added to your map.

Note: Changing default notifiers does not change existing notifiers attached to existing devices; it applies only to newly added devices.
