Create a WBGT policy

Keep your athletes safe and stay compliant by adding Wet Bulb Globe Temperature policy alerts!

Creating the policy

1. Open Policy Management
   1. Navigate to Policies in the left-hand sidebar. See creating and managing policies.
   2. Click New Policy.
   3. Give the policy a clear name, for example "Football Heat Protocol".
2. Choose the weather variable
   1. Select WBGT. A visual gauge opens with controls for setting your thresholds.
3. Set your risk levels
   1. Set each threshold with the slider, or type an exact value to match your organization's number precisely. WBGT has a minimum you cannot go below, and although the slider has a visual cap you can type a higher value to go past it.
   2. Click Add Risk Level to add additional risk levels to your policy. WBGT supports up to eight risk levels.
4. Write your alert messages
   1. Open the Notify dropdown next to each risk level.
   2. Edit the delay and all-clear message text for each risk level. A live preview shows what the alert will say before you save.
   3. Put your practice modification in the message text, so the recipient gets correct instructions. For example: "RED ZONE. One hour practice maximum. Football: no protective gear, no conditioning. Rest breaks every 20 minutes."
   4. Set the all-clear timer to match your protocol, or turn notifications off if you want the policy on the dashboard without alerting anyone.

5. Customize the Risk Level Dashboard Widget and Alerts

   1. To show the WBGT policy on the Dashboard and in the app, select Enable on Dashboard under Risk Level Customization. You can configure the risk level, color, and activity guidelines shown in the dashboard widget and notifications for each risk level.

   2. Your completed risk levels can become the location's heat-stress risk profile. Use Enable on Dashboard when you want that profile to drive the segmented risk bar on the dashboard and location details.
       

      

    

6. Assign the policy
   1. Assign the policy to locations and user groups. The users in those groups, at those locations, are who receives the alert.
   2. Mark it required if the assigned groups must comply. A required policy appears locked to users in the group: they can view it but not edit it.
7. Save
   1. Click Save Policy. The policy applies immediately to the assigned groups and locations.
