Working with the Vocera Incoming VMI Adapter Rules

This page describes the fields available to configure dataset rules for the Vocera Incoming VMI Adapter.

Rules can be configured on a dataset to send a message back to the third party integrator, based on the parameters and rule action provided in the Adapter Settings. When triggered, the Vocera Incoming VMI Adapter rules allow for sending status updates and handling responses.

See the Vocera Platform Administration Guide for information about working with rules. See Configuring a Vocera Incoming VMI Adapter for information about the adapter settings.

In the Adapter Settings, configure the Rule Settings fields to manage the selected Rule Action. This adapter defines two rule actions, each with its own parameters, plus two parameters common to both rule actions. The configuration fields are described in the table that follows each displayed rule action below.
