Configuring Life Check Mode in the Command Portal
This article explains how to configure Life Check Mode intervals in the OnGuard Command Portal.

Life Check Mode provides a piece of mind to supervisors and workers knowing that no worker is left behind by allowing them to quickly check-in on a regular basis and provide proof of life. When the interval expires without users reaction, their app will automatically trigger an Emergency Alert.
