Target affected users by location

You can target users in accountability events by selecting locations on the publisher map. Users with any geolocation attribute in the selected locations are targeted in the event. In addition, any users with a Last Known Location attribute that was updated within the selected timeframe are also targeted by default.
  1. In the
    Event Details
     section, click
    Add
     in the
    Location
     section. The publisher map opens.
  2. On the map, do one of the following:
    • Click
      Create Custom Locations
       to display the drawing tools for creating shapes. Click a shape button and then click and drag on the map to select the location you want to use in the alert or event. You can add multiple custom locations.
    • Click
      Select Predefined Locations
      , and select any of the layers that have been created for you. When you select a layer, the map updates to display the layer location on the screen. Select one or more predefined locations in the layer by clicking them on the map or selecting them from the drop-down menu. As you make selections, the locations are highlighted on the map.
    For a detailed description of how to select locations, see "Select an alert or event location" in the
