Allows you to create new and manage existing alerts and alert recipients.

Existing Map and Admin users are not automatically made into Alert recipients. This means that you will need to add Alert recipients as needed. This also means you can add Alert recipients for people/devices which are not in the Smartrak system.


WhyKeeping remote and traveling staff safe by having the ability to activate emergency alerts. Provides real-time location and status information
What

When an emergency alert is activated who and how will they receive the alerts.

These alerts are in addition to the alert that appears on the map screen. See How do I deal with Emergency Alerts?

Important to have an action plan for your organisation around what happens when alerts are received;

  • Who will receive the alerts
  • How will they receive the alerts
  • What will they do when they receive the alert
  • What will they do when they make contact (i.e. clearing the alert)
  • What will they do if they cannot make contact with the alerter

Alerts can be received from:

  • Personal locator buttons
  • Lone worker alarms
  • Emergency duress buttons
  • After a High Impact or Rollover event IF the High Impact and Rollover alert feature (HIR) is enabled for your resources  - more info here
  • Geofence entry or exit or both
  • Low Battery 
How

Log into the Smartrak Admin Site, select Alert in the left hand menu.

1. Recipients tab - Create a new Recipient including their Mobile Number and /or Email & click CREATE


To remove the recipient i.e. when a recipient leaves your organisation, select them from the drop down list in the Manage tab and click on Delete Recipient


2. Assign tab - Select the Alert Recipient and the Alert Type and confirm SMS and/or Email Alert & click SAVE

(To remove the assignment against a recipient i.e. when a recipient leaves your organisation, remove the tick and select SAVE)


3. View Alert Assignment tab – view by Resource or Recipient - check all alerts are set up to go to the correct recipient – this is the final check



NOTE: If you are an alert recipient/have the authority to call a Personal Locator - If your workforce carry Traksafe (Personal locators) devices, whitelisted numbers must not have the caller ID blocked (private number) - landline or mobile. Blocked caller ID numbers will be unable to call the Traksafe device in the event of a duress alarm.
