The Alarm type notification feature allows District administrators to switch from notifying all users to just notifying a specific set of users for each alarm type. Once setup, only those users that are listed will get the notifications (push notification on the mobile app, text, or email) for that alarm type.
To get started, District admins should:
- Login to EM
- Go to Rapid Alarm
- Click on the Settings button
- Click to Edit an existing alarm type or create a custom alarm type
- At the bottom of the existing alarm type screen, there will be an option for Staff to be notified
- By default, Notify all Staff is chosen.
- Click Notify specific staff users

Note: Choosing “Notify specific staff users” does not automatically assign recipients. If recipients are not assigned, no notification will go out.
Continue with the instructions below to assigned notification recipients.
- A new tab will show under Settings called Alarm type notifications
- School admins will then be able to access this page to add which users they want to be notified for these specific alarm types
- Only alarm types that have been selected to Notify specific staff users will show up in the table
- School admins will only see their school listed

- School admins can click on Select staff button to add their staff members to be notified for each of these alarm types
- If users have already been added, they can click on the Edit icon (pencil) to access the Select Staff modal
- As users are added, they will show up on the right hand side

- Once the users are saved, then they will show up in the table
- District admins can click on the Download button to see a spreadsheet of all users that have been added by each school
Users must have text and/or email enabled under their Rapid Alarm Settings in their User profile to receive these types of notifications.
