Setting Up a Hierarchy Automation Policy

Hierarchy automation policies send email notifications when certain events occur in the hierarchy. You need to turn on the policies that you want to use. Note that you cannot modify the default policies, but you may clone them to create new policies. You can then configure those policies to suit your requirements.
This task is a step in the process for implementing Notification Server hierarchy.
