Let's test sending a location-based Communication.

Hover over Situational Awareness and click on Visual Command Center.

Let's find your contact on the map.

You can zoom and pan the map.

or, You can search by typing in your name.

If needed, use the filter function.

Select your contact.

And see that we are transported to where your contact is. The bottom panel also shows all of your contact details.

Now, let's launch a Communication. Click on the three dot menu.

And select Map Filter.

Choose a drawing tool. For this example I will use the radius.

Follow the on-screen instructions to create your shape around your contact's location.

For the radius, see that when you click and drag it, it creates your shape.

Now that we have our shape, launch a Communication by clicking on the icon.

Keep in mind, you can get in-app guidance on how to launch a communication by selecting this question mark icon.

Let's go ahead and create our communication.

Select an event type that best matches your Communication.

The system will suggest templates based on the event type that you choose.

Next, select a template.

Since we are launching a simple test communication, select no template.

Next, Give your Communication a subject.

As well as a body. This message will be used for all delivery paths.

However, if we customize, we can set different messages for email and SMS. Click add custom message.

Turn on both SMS and email and click save.

Choose the "SMS" option.

And enter the message that will be specifically sent to the SMS delivery paths.

Click the email option.

And enter the message that will specifically be sent to email delivery paths. Feel free to add formatting or even an image in your test.

Next, we are presented with the option of adding contacts to receive this communication. We can skip this step since we made a map-based selection around an area that included your contact.

When you scroll down you will see that those within the shape are automatically included in the communication.

For this example, my Communication will go to two different people since they both are associated with addresses within my shape.

Finally, click launch your communication.

Now, check your devices to see how your message turned out.
