Chapter 6: Notifying Users 141
Disabling a Notification Record
You can disable a notification record temporarily or permanently. For
example, if a user takes a leave of absence or a vacation, you can disable all
his notification records. Amanda keeps the original information so you can
reactivate the record later.
To disable a notification record:
1. From the Users screen, type the number for the mailbox in the Mailbox
field, then press Enter.
2. Press Alt+N.
The Notify screen appears. The first notification record in the Notifica-
tion Records List is selected.
Type Defines what condition activates this notification.
There are five types. Press F2 to see the list of types,
use Up Arrow and Down Arrow to select a type,
then press Enter to return to the Notify screen.
Variable The telephone number that Amanda substitutes for
%V when she executes this notification record. If
the Method field does not contain the token %V,
this field is ignored.
C
AUTION
: If the Method field contains the token
%V and this telephone number or exten-
sion is invalid, the system might lock
up. Additionally, make sure your tele-
phone lines are toll restricted.
