How to use geo-targeting with IWA

Weather feeds from the NWS contain geolocation information that can provide a more precise area for targeting weather related alerts than by county alone. When a weather alert feed contains a geolocation, depending on how you configure your weather alert template and alert rules, you can use the geolocation from the feed to define the targeting of users based on their location. You can enable geolocation targeting by selecting a location on the map in a weather alert template and selecting to target users in those locations.

The following matrix shows how the geotargeting settings in alert templates and alert rules impact the use of maps from the alert template and feed in triggered alerts. In the matrix, a means that the map from the weather feed is used in the triggered alert. A means that the map from the alert template is used.
