SMS Alert provides fast and effective warnings in case of fire, bomb threats, school shootings and other emergency situations. When a crisis arises, everyone needs to be informed of it. And it needs to be done in a simple and transparent way. The SMS Alert module is separate from our other SMS modules, to avoid confusion with other SMS templates.


Benefits

There are many benefits of having SMS Alert. The module:

  • Supports direct message to the appropriate authorities
  • Immediately notifies everyone via their mobile phones
  • Creates a sense of security for everyone at the school and their relatives
  • Gives you an easy editor with predefined texts, which are almost ready to be sent out
  • Lets you defines who has access to SMS Alert
  • Turns your entire screen red, when you open the open the module to issue an alarm

Requirement

This module is already installed with the standard UMS installation. It requires a valid license for the module, which can be checked under “Help/License info”:

The required license is called “SMS Alert”:

After the license has been verified, UMS is ready to be configured.

Settings

All settings regarding this module are located in Template settings, just as “ordinary” users that UMS maintains. The concept is that each template (group of users), has a location attached to them. This could be the same location for all users/templates->All users on the school is alerted at the same time. Or it could be different locations (a large school with multiple addresses).

Simply edit an existing template and click “Manage…” under location.

The settings for a location is:

  • Description: A descriptive name for the location (this is the name that the users are shown)
  • Access group: Members of the chosen group will have the rights to publish an alert for this location
  • Extra numbers: Insert extra phone numbers that will receive this message first (ex. The local police station)
  • Extra mailing lists: Insert extra emails that will receive the message
  • SMS Alerts: Choose/design the alert messages

Locations - and how they work

When you stand on a template, it's only possible to select one location, but you can set the same location on all of your templates to give you a "Select all option".

SMS Alerts

Its possible to define multiple alert messages:

Each alert needs a telling display name, and a short and easy to understand text.

2. Learn who has teaching now. (if the alarm is at 11 o'clock, everyone who teaches at 11 o'clock will be notified first.)

4. Guest Users and MassUsers.

5. Students who have tuition now. (if the alarm is at 11 o'clock, everyone who has class at 11 o'clock will be notified first.)
