Forwarding alarms to other users automatically

If you must leave your desk and you want someone else to receive alarms while you are gone, you can set alarms to auto-forward.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have the Forward alarms user privilege.

To forward an alarm automatically:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • In the notification tray, right-click the Alarms icon ( or ), and click Start alarms auto-forward.
    • In the upper-left corner of the Alarm monitoring or Monitoring task, click Start alarms auto-forward ().
  2. In the Select alarm recipients dialog box, select the destination user or user group.
  3. (Optional) Write a message to send with the forwarded alarm.
  4. Click Start alarms auto-forward.
    All alarms sent to you are forwarded to the specified user until you cancel the auto-forward option.
  5. To cancel auto-forward, do one of the following:
    • In the notification tray, right-click the Alarms icon ( or ), and click Stop alarms auto-forward.
    • In the upper-left corner of the Alarm monitoring or Monitoring task, click Stop alarms auto-forward ().
