Organizational change during a session

With these panels the Manager is able to change the organization during a session by changing Role, Unit and Mail Group configuration. These changes take effect immediately.

Agile Configuration contains four panels.

• Unit Controlled by Role: Which Roles each Unit is controlled by.
• Unit Send Info to Role: Which Roles each Unit will send the information (within their observation areas) to.

Mail Groups

In the Agile Configuration window, it is only possible to select existing Mail Groups. It is possible to create Mail Groups but this is done in the <MailGroups> configuration element in the relevant .con or .coni file, not in the Agile Configuration window. This means that Mail Groups must be created before a session and cannot be creating during a session.
