Learn how to assign employees and/or contractors to the panic alarm responders role type. You need the Administrator and/or Contractor Manager user role to access these settings.
How it works
Panic alarm responders are the people who need to be sent a notification when panic alarm is activated on the kiosk or from the Sign In/Out Manager. There are four types of panic alarm responders:
- Employees with the role type of panic alarm responder assigned to them.
- Contractor members with the role type of panic alarm responder assigned to them.
- Other employees that are not assigned under the role types option but nonetheless you wish to nominate them as responders anyway. (you can add up to three employees).
- A non-employee who is neither an employee or contractor member.
In order for a panic alarm responder to receive the panic alarm, they must have an email address and preferably cell phone (mobile) number recorded in their profile. If you decide to have panic alarm responders notified via text and a responder does not have a cell phone number recorded in their MRI OnLocation profile, they will not receive the panic alarm request.
