I would use a filter notify action to create the notification. In the User field on the filter notification action enter the group name as it appears in the Group form. This will send the notification to everyone in the group. Hope that helps. Todd Arner -Original Message- From: Act

Wouldn't you need 3 things? A filter to trigger the action, a filter guide to run a loop against a table, and then the filter in the filter guide which is the notify action pulling in the email address of the user on each line in the group? Levi Lippincott / Remedy Administrator +1 402 561 701

Susan, LJ is correct. BMC ITSM is known to send out too many notifications. The last thing you want to do is to notify support staff incorrectly. Most support staff I have worked with will then quickly just ignore notification sent my BMC. Auto assignments are one on the best figures with BMC
