Notification Categories
What Is It?
A notification category is a label you assign to notification groups so you can organize and filter notification triggers in Solution Manager. Each category has a unique name and an optional set of assigned notification groups.
You manage notification categories on the Manage Categories page. To open it, go to Library > Notification Triggers and select Manage Categories.
The grid lists existing categories by Name. Select a category in the grid, or select New Category, to open the edit panel below the grid.
How It Works
The edit panel contains the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The unique name of the category. This field is required. |
| Available Groups / Assigned Groups | A transfer list that moves notification groups between those available and those assigned to the category. Move a group to Assigned Groups to include it in the category. |
The Name field must be unique. If you enter a name that is already in use, Solution Manager reports that the category name is already used.
After editing a category, select Save to apply your changes or Reset to discard them. To remove a category, select it in the grid and select Delete.
