3. I plan to use SMRT for my answering service. How soon can the answering service be ready to go at my property?
The SMRT Answering Service can often be ready immediately. To launch the answering service at a community, the property manager needs to do the following:
Setup the complete team in SMRT
Establish Community Settings in SMRT
4. Exactly what "settings" do I need to address or set up when preparing to launch my community answering service?
Before launching the SMRT Answering Service at a community, the property manager should sign in at www.sightplan.com to establish the answering service settings. Be sure to establish (or confirm) the settings for your community in each of the following sections:
Settings/Answering Service: Here you can establish your community's "lock-out" policy and additional site information. Click HERE for step-by-step support on managing these settings.
Settings/Assignments/Defaults: This is where you should establish the assignees for non-urgent calls, and for your courtesy officer calls if you have a courtesy officer.
Settings/Assignments/Escalations: This is where you set up your emergency escalation chain. When emergency calls are received, this is the escalation path that will be used by the answering service. Click HERE for step-by-step support on managing these settings.
Settings/Notifications: This is where you need to establish your office hours, and the settings related to your Answering Service Summary Report. Click HERE for step-by-step support on managing these settings.
People/On-Call: This is where you can set up your on-call schedule. Your on-call schedule can be established for as far into the future as you would like. Click HERE for step-by-step support on managing these settings.

6. Am I able to use biometrics to sign into SMRT Operations Manager Mobile?
Biometric authentication uses fingerprints or face recognition to unlock your smart device quickly and easily. This adds an additional layer of security if the device is left unattended and the app is backgrounded. Only the device owner may re-open the app and view any potentially sensitive information therein.
Yes. If you have biometric authentication enabled on your mobile device, once you have signed in initially to SMRT Operations Manager Mobile, you will be able to keep signing back into SMRT Operations Manager using the device's biometric settings you have selected.
7. Who should I contact for help when I have questions about SMRT?
