Places of interest
In IRIS Focus, a place of interest may be either an area of interest or a pin (single point) on the map.
Pins
Pins on a map indicate points of interest with reference points and labels.Areas of interest
An area of interest is a geographical area that you can monitor for weather events.
If the system detects a weather event within an area of interest, it generates an alert.
Organization-level areas of interest
Organization-level areas of interest, and alerts triggered in them, are visible to all focus users within the organization.
Only users assigned a poweruser role can create, edit, or delete organization-level areas of interest, and link weather events to these areas.
powerusers can also define a list of recipients who will receive notification when alerts are triggered in an organization-level area of interest.
Personal areas of interest
Users assigned a focus role can create, edit, and delete their own personal areas of interest. (Exception: areas created by a user who also has the poweruser role become organization-level areas.)
Personal areas of interest are only visible to the user who created them. Alerts triggered on these areas are also only visible to the user who created the area.
