Right-clickon any one of the selected nodes, and on the resulting menu, drag down to Properties.

Configure the settings as described in the previous section, keeping in mind that only poll settings which are longer than the database poll cycle will have an effect on how often the selected nodes’ status is updated. Note, too, that you cannot select a polling method via the Multi-Node Properties window; this field will display the currently-set polling method (if all selected nodes are using the same method), or “Mixed” if the selected nodes do not use the same method.
