Is there a reason "Notification Options" are not part of the bulk modifications tool? I want to remove the check next to "Scheduled Downtime" from all services.

Thanks!

After some investigating, it also looks like some wizards may have all options selected while some wizards only have some of the notification option selected. Is there a way to standardize this somewhere?

There are a number of notifications options in the bulk modification tool. Unfortunately, there is no option to remove scheduled downtime in bulk.

You could make a service template with the desired notification options and add the template to the service after you are completed with the wizard. Otherwise you would have to edit the php file for the corresponding wizard.

There is a feature request on our bug tracker:

Is this the functionality that you need?

Simple answer, Nope

But if by default the wizard sets the options on the services when they are created, doesn't the option on the service override any option in a template? The other easy fix is just to tell users to uncheck downtimes under their notification preferences on their account, right?

I am sorry - I misunderstood your question.

...doesn't the option on the service override any option in a template?

Yes, it would override it.

Yes, actually this is going to be easier to do (to modify the notification options on the user level), then doing it on the host/service level.
