Using Method Types

You can use method types in your notification strategy to help Notification Manager determine how to notify a contact. For example, suppose that John Smith has two active schedules. One schedule is assigned to use the Email 1 method and the other to use the Alphanumeric Pager 1 method. If you have an urgent problem that requires John Smith's immediate attention, you can use the Pager method type (P) on the notification request to force Notification Manager to use only those methods assigned to this method type. This would ensure that John Smith would be notified using the Alphanumeric Pager 1 method instead of the Email 1 method.
