Voice Reminder Limitations and Interval Usage

The "Record a reminder" command is designed to create short-term or long-term voice reminders from your badge. It is important to understand the limitations and proper usage to record a voice reminder successfully.

Adhere to the following when creating a voice reminder:

specify reminders intervals in minutes and hours
specify a recipient's name, you can create a reminder for another user, multiple users names, or a Vocera group
specify the following for recurring reminders:
- set a duration for the reminder, the minimum duration to 5 minutes and the maximum is up to 24 hours for short-term reminders
- set a frequency of daily or weekly for long-term reminders.
- set a start date and an end date for long-term recurring reminders

The table below shows the minimum and maximum frequency/duration you can set for recurring reminders.

Note: If you do not set a duration on a recurring reminder, it defaults to 24 hours. Reviewers: does this still apply?
