We know that many people might not understand some of the terms used throughout SentLive and in this guide, so this section is an attempt to clarify, explain and hopefully bring understanding to what we are talking about, and what SentLive can do for you. Technically, this section should be called a “glossary” but we weren’t sure if that might add to the potential confusion!
SentLive specific terms #
Alert: #
This actually has two meanings in the SentLive universe; it is the action taken when a member taps or holds the Big Blue Button, and it is also what is sent by that action, either a Safe Alert or a Not Safe Alert.
Check: #
This is the ‘Are you OK?’ message sent to a member, that is generated by the schedule set either by the member themself (Scheduled Check) or by another member friend on them (Request A Check).
The Buzz: #
This refers to the stream of posts, called buzzes, similar to what you might find on X or Facebook.
Post: #
This can refer to both anything that appears in The Buzz, or the SentLive Forum, and to specific items such as Alerts, and is both a name and an action (‘That was her first post’ and ‘she posted a Safe Alert’).
Big Blue Button & Safe Haven #
Safe Haven is now also referred to as Safety on the site and contains the Big Blue Button, which in turn is what you click/tap or hold to send alerts.
