Using Notification Manager › Notification Manager Concepts › Broadcasting

Broadcasting

Notification Manager's default behavior is to stop processing as soon as it successfully notifies one person or one member of a group. However, it can also be used to broadcast information to an entire group or send information to an individual in more than one way.

Example:

This example uses broadcasting to call a department meeting.

  1. Create a group called Dept7.
  2. Have Dept7 refer to each person in Department 7 for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  3. Tell Notification Manager that it should use all active time blocks and notify all active members. (Recall that a time block is active if the current time is included within the time span covered by the time block.)

The Dept7 group can now be used to notify all the members of the group.
