I have a matrix of staff that I need to notify in the event of a failure. We have about 20 people in several departments and about 30 products.
I create an Action Profile for one combination of staff and products. But the matrix of staff (many who are responsible products) is becoming a bother. I am creating more and more Action Profiles as the complexity increases.
Is there a way to 'add' a second Action Profiles to a particular test instead of creating a new profile that combines the two?
For example:
Tech Services
Tech Services + Exchange
Tech Services + Exchange + Critical
Adding multiple Action Profiles to a single test
I don't think you need 2nd or 3rd action profile. I think you need to use macro variables.
E.g. if you are using "Send e-mail" action, you may specify list of recepients using comment field of the test and use macro variable like %TaskComment% or %CommentLine2% as parameter of the action. You may specify such list on folder-level as well and use %FolderComment% variable for the actions.

Also you may use global macro variables and we have implemented folder-related user defined variables in version 7.70 (will be available soon)
