Overview
Broadcast alerts are messages that are delivered to all ACTIVE carts at a club. Administrator level roles can utilize this feature and construct custom one-off messages, or utilize re-usable templates for common messaging tasks.
Once a broadcast message is sent, the IZON Screen will display that message on the next tee box geofence it enters. Golfers must acknowledge the message on the screen to return to full use of the GPS features, making this a helpful tool to ensure all carts on the course receive your message. The acknowledgment is recorded and saved with the alert history for auditing purposes.
