When a Lone Worker uses the app, we log their actions as Session Events. Escalation Policies allow your Responders to be notified when these Session Events occur.

There are three categories of Session Events. Green Events are actions that the User has taken in the app. Amber Events are notifications that give the status of their device, and Red Events are Alerts.


Escalation Policies

When setting up an Escalation Policy, you must select the Events that you want this Policy to notify your Responders of.

You can only have one Escalation Policy applied to any Event active at a given time. A separate Escalation Policy is needed for each category or Event.

  • Session Ended

  • Session Extended

  • Session Check-in

Amber Events
