
Once the configuration is pushed, the unchecked fields from the global group appears on the subscriber group
as static values and settings. Only fields that had the override checkbox selected in the global group appear as
fields that can be set at the level of the subscriber group. Any changes to a static field must be made on the
global group.

In the example below, the field Name was overridden with the checkbox in the global group, so it can be
configured for each subscriber group. The other four fields in the Basic section were not overridden, so they
are static fields that will be the same for each subscriber group. These fields can be altered only on the global
group.


If a global group has subscriber groups it cannot be changed to a non-global group. A global group without
subscriber groups can be changed to a regular group by updating the setting on the
Groups > Basic
configuration interface. The global groups feature can also be used with the Master Console . For more
information about this feature, refer to
“Supporting AWMS Stations with the Master Console” on page 239
