How to Send Scoped Alerts

Learn how the scoped alerts are sent from the E3 app


Scoped alerts are defined as the alerts meant for a specific user group. For instance, you have a group created for a hospital and you want to trigger an alert meant only for the hospital nurses. This is done by creating a custom role named as nursing staff and adding members to it.

1. Upon successful login, select the group for which you want to create the custom role using the group list on the left side.

2. Upon selecting the group, click the Settings icon. This opens the selected group settings.

3. From the settings screen, click Group Roles. This will take you to the Manage Roles screen.
