Block groups and distribution lists from receiving an alert

You can block groups (organizations or distribution lists) from receiving an alert on the By Groups tab in the Target Users section .
  1. In the
    Target Users
     section, click
    By Groups
    .
  2. In the
    Groups
     field, click
    Block
     beside each group or distribution list that you want to block.
    Even if a top-level group or distribution list is selected for inclusion, you can still block a sub group or sub distribution list underneath it. Blocking takes precedence over inclusion, so blocked sub groups and sub distribution lists will not be targeted even if their parent groups or distribution lists are targeted.
    When you block a group or distribution list, the Block link changes to an Unblock link and a  appears beside its name.
  3. To unblock a group or distribution list, click
    Unblock
     beside its name.
    If you block a group or distribution list that contains sub groups or sub distribution lists, those are also automatically blocked. To unblock any of the sub groups or sub distribution lists, you must manually unblock the parent group or distribution list first. If you manually block all sub groups or sub distribution lists, the parent group or distribution list will not display a blocked icon.
