Inside the console
From first signal to all clear.
Everything an operator touches during an incident sits in one place: what is happening, who gets told, and how they answer.
Active incidents, licensed users, desktop clients, mobile activations, phone and SMS credits, web relays, and CAP feeds, with your alert inbox right below.
Switch each one on per alert: desktop client, email, SMS, phone call, mobile app, and meetings, plus call-in alerts, web relays, outbound CAP, and social media.
Build scenarios like Active Shooter, Code Blue, Gas Leak, and All Clear ahead of time, then press Execute when the moment comes.
Set a response quota, define the phone and SMS replies that mean acceptance or rejection, choose voicemail behavior, and set the recipient delay and alert expiry.
Grant or deny each feature individually, from alert history and user management to scenarios, templates, and drafts.
