The web portal at https://data.emittechnologies.com/ can be used to set up callout functionality for active units.

General Concepts

Contact

A contact represents a person who can be contacted for a callout. The person can get text messages, phone calls, emails, or some combination of these. First, a contact for a person has to be created.

Creating a new contact

On the site, select the "Callout Scheduling" section at the top. Next, select the "Contacts" tab.

At the top of the tab enter the name and email and/or phone for a person. Select the checkboxes for the type of messages the person should get- email, text, and/or voice. Then, select "Add". The person will then go into the list on this page.

Tip: If the contact is for a customer, add the company to the name as well to help with searching later.

Editing a contact

In the lower part of the Contacts page is a list of all contacts. They can be filtered by

Group

A group is a group of people that will be contacted together. It can be used to group contacts for an area, part of an area, customer contacts in the area, etc. Using groups makes setting up and changing callouts easier because once the group is on some units if there is a change in the contact list it can be edited once in the group rather than on every unit. A contact can be in multiple groups.

Creating a new group

To create a new group, click on "Callout Scheduling" at the top of the page then "Groups" just below that. At the top of the Groups tab enter a new group name in the "Name" box and then click "Create".

Adding people to a group

On the lower part of the Groups page is a list of existing groups. Select a group name to go to the Group edit page.
