Create a Multijob Monitor: Grouping

If you would like to create monitors for an entire region and not just for specific job steps, you can create a group of monitor definitions (or profiles) that are activated by a trigger monitor. This method ensures that you have the necessary data for analysis of all job steps in a multistep process.

To create a group of monitors that are triggered by a grouping monitor:

From the Primary Option menu, select Option 4, Grouping.
The Monitor Profile Groups panel displays.
```
