Set up emergency roll call

Kisi's Emergency Roll Call feature ensures quick and accurate tracking of people during emergencies. It helps confirm who is safe and who is missing by building a roll call list of everyone who was on-site and recording who checks in at the muster point. Ideal for schools, gyms, and hospitals, it streamlines emergency response and boosts safety.

Prerequisites

To use this integration, you'll need a Kisi Reader and a new Access Point added to your Kisi Place, with the reader assigned to that Access Point.

• To setup your Kisi Reader, click here
• To create an Access Point, click here

Only Kisi administrators can set up and run a roll call. Emergency Roll Call doesn't support Manage User Access, so it can't be shared with other users.

Set up Emergency Roll Call

1. Sign in to Kisi
2. Open the Settings and click on Integrations > Add Integration
3. Define the name of your new Emergency Roll Call integration
4. Open the Type dropdown and select Emergency Roll Call
5. Enable the integration
6. Click Add

Configure Emergency Roll Call settings

You need to save the settings before you can start a roll call. Until then, the page shows "Please configure Roll Call settings." and Initiate Roll Call is disabled.

1. Navigate to the Emergency Roll Call page
2. On the top right, click the gear icon to open Roll Call Settings
3. Under Select Place, select the place
4. Under Select Access Point, select the roll call access point
5. If you see "This access point has not been configured for this marketplace app. Please click the button below to configure.", click Configure Access Point. Badge-ins at the access point count toward the roll call only after this step.
6. Define the name of your Muster Point, which refers to the designated assembly area where personnel will gather during an emergency.
7. Review the Emergency Instructions. The field comes prefilled with default instructions that you can edit. The text is sent as HTML, so use <br /> for line breaks and <strong> for bold text.
8. Optionally, turn on Send Notifications (off by default). When it's on, the dialog shows "An email will be sent to all users on-site." and everyone on the roll call list receives an email when you start a roll call.
9. Click Save. Save is enabled only when the place, access point, muster point and emergency instructions are all filled in.

caution

When you reopen Roll Call Settings, the Emergency Instructions field shows the default template, not your saved instructions. If you've customized them, re-enter your instructions before you save changes to the settings.

Each integration uses one place and one roll call access point. Changing the settings replaces the existing place and access point.
