Select the Group radio button when you want to monitor a specified number of Work Orders that meet the established Notification & Escalation criteria.
These "groups" are not related to other types of Groups in WebTMA. This is strictly a collection of Work Orders that meet the limited criteria you set on the Notification & Escalation window.
How to Add Group Notification and Escalation
Use the Notification & Escalation module to monitor several critical Work Orders and follow up with notices to interested parties and Technicians to assure prompt completion of the work. The Number field indicates the quantity that triggers the email messages. You can qualify the number with one of the symbols such as =, <, >, etc.
