●Steps for Applying an Alert Subscription Template

●Other Ways to Apply an Alert Subscription Template

After an alert template has been created, you can specify devices to use it with (Create Alert Subscription Templates on page 185). When applying a template to devices, you can choose to have the devices:

●Link template to subscription: Any changes made to the template will automatically affect any devices associated with this template.

●Do NOT link template to subscription: Changes made to this template will not affect the devices associated with it. This is used to apply the template settings as a new subscription without linking that subscription in any way to the original template.

Alert templates create an alerts subscription on the devices to which they were applied. Any time a new template is applied, a new alerts subscription is created on those devices.

Alert Templates in Group Policies

The Groups Policy features is a powerful new automation tool that saves users a great deal of time configuring devices and HP Web Jetadmin settings. Both Automatic and Manual type groups can have the Group Policy property. One policy that can be added to any device group’s properties is Alerts. Both Subscribe and Unsubscribe using Alert templates can be applied to devices in the group either as they are populated into group membership or as they are removed from group membership. In this way, devices can have specific Alerts applied or de-applied without impact to other Alerts settings. (See Group Policies

on page 112.)
