Every incident card includes:

  • Severity level (Low, Medium, High, Critical)
  • Location (address & GPS pin)

At the bottom of each card, you will find action buttons:View Details | Edit | Map | Publish

Note: When a panic button is triggered, the card will be highlighted in red as an Emergency Alert Card carrying a Priority Response label and an additional button: All Emergency Details.

The following sections describe what each option does and how to use it.

3. Typical Admin Workflow

  • A guard submits "Car crashed at Gate 2" from the mobile app.
  • The admin sees it appear in Live Activity (medium severity).
  • The admin clicks View Details to review the description, reporter, and time.
  • The admin clicks Map to verify the GPS location and identify the nearest guard.
  • The admin assigns a guard from the map panel.
  • The admin clicks Publish to keep the client informed.
  • Once the situation is handled, the admin clicks Mark Resolved.

For panic button emergencies, the admin can also click All Emergency Details to review device status, battery level, and the event timeline before dispatching a response.

Every action is timestamped and logged for compliance purposes.

Quick Tip: Make Live Activity your first stop when you log in. It highlights what is happening right now and what needs your immediate attention. When you are not actively working in other features, we recommend keeping the Dashboard screen open so you can respond without delay to new incidents or emergencies.
