Advanced Commands

This section describes commands used by more experienced users or those enabled with special permission.

Some commands require special Vocera permissions or are a little more complex than the commands described in Basic Calling.

The voice commands are grouped by category. When a command requires special permission, it is marked by an asterisk (*) in the description. Your system administrator enables or disables permissions for each user. If you do not have permission to use a command that requires one, the Genie will tell you.
