Address Book Usage

[Data Source: Voice Server, VCS] Summarizes inactive address book entries. Data includes totals by facility, type, and last used date. Administratively, system admins will review this dashboard to identify specific address book entries that are no longer used.

The information displayed on the screen is determined based on the filters that you apply. The available filters are:

Table 1. Filters
Filter Name Filter Description
Date Range The date range to be considered for arriving at the result. By default, the value is the current date; however, you can select from a list of options. For example, you can select the option "Last 7 days" or "Last 30 days."
Facilities Used to filter data based on Address Book facilities (common facility name) specified while mapping Vocera Voice Server Address Book Site and Engage Facility.
Address Book Types Used to filter data based on the address book type such as a person or a place. The address book type in Vocera Voice Server is a convenient way for badge users to contact people who do not use the badge.

For the selected date range, if there is no activity for the address book, it is considered as inactive and is displayed in the results. The dashboard lists the address book details based on the last used date by default. Click on a facility to display the details of inactive address book entries within the selected facility.
