The first level of the recipients’ summary shows a list of the recipient groups configured for the remote
notification. You can expand each recipient group to see further details about that group and its
members.
Information shown for each recipient group:
[group name] – [group threshold/replies/timeout] - [group status] - [list of group members] – [escalation

Name of the recipient group (for example, supervisors or administrators),
selected from system address book, to which the notification was
addressed.
Group replies
How many group members have replied so far to the notification.
Group threshold
The minimum required number of replies required for this group. For
example, Replies: 1/2 means that at least one of the two recipients
belonging to the group must reply for this message to be considered
acknowledged.
Group timeout
