Create Notification
The Create Notification object is used to create a new notification on the Smarts InCharge server. Since Smarts InCharge uses the Class, Name, and Event fields to uniquely identify a notification, you can use the Create Notification operator to create duplicate events that will appear in the Smarts InCharge Global Console.
How it is used
The Create Notification object can be used to create a Smarts InCharge notification when a critical part of a maintenance procedure fails.
Configuration
To configure the Create Notification object you will need to the know the Class, Name, and Event information or ID of the notification you are creating. You will also need to configure the Source, Event type, and Clear mode of the notification that will be created.
