Working with Groups and Departments / Adding or Editing a Group |
The Department page of the Add/Edit Group dialog box (or the corresponding fields in the data-loading template) lets you specify the group type (Ordinary, Department, or Subdepartment) and enter a telephony PIN or Cost Center ID for accounting purposes.

Select a group type:
|
PIN for Long Distance Calls |
50 |
Optionally specify a value in the PIN for Long Distance Calls field. A telephony PIN authorizes members of a Vocera department to make phone calls and allows an organization to charge departments for those calls. A PIN template can include digits, special characters, and PIN macros. Use this field only if you are working with a department group. |
Cost Center |
100 |
Optionally specify a value in the Cost Center field. A Cost Center ID enables Vocera to track system usage by department and potentially allows an organization to charge its departments for relative usage. Use this field only if you are working with a department group. |
You can also specify a group as a department or subdepartment on the main Departments page that you access through the navigation bar in the Administration Console.
