Groups

Description - The main groups object contains objects for each group setup in WebGate. Groups allow a single message to be sent to several recipients.

Functions (accessible by right-clicking on the object)
Add - this allows you to add a new group to WebGate

Group(s)

Description
- Under the main group object, you will see a group object for each group that has been setup

Functions (accessible by right-clicking on the object)
Send Messages - this will send a message to all the members of this group  

Requeue Messages - this allows you to resend messages that have already been sent to this group  

Cancel Messages - this allows you to cancel all pending messages for this group  

Delete - this will delete the selected group. Note: all of WebGate's modules are temporarily paused and then restarted when a group is deleted, so as not to remove a group that is currently being processed. When removing a large number of groups, it is most efficient to manually stop WebGate's modules, delete the groups, and then restart the modules.
