User Console Features

The first time you log in to the User Console, you will see the Personal Information page:

Other links allow you to:

• Customize announcement settings for your badge.

• Specify call blocking or call forwarding options.

  You can also use the voice commands to block and call forward calls. For more information, refer to Blocking and Accepting Calls and Forwarding Your Calls.

• Create Buddies.

  A buddy is a person or group that you can call by a nickname when you give a command to the Genie. In addition to the nickname, which is required to designate someone as a buddy, you can assign a special ring tone and give the buddy VIP status which allows your buddies to contact you even when you block calls or put the badge in Do Not Disturb mode.

  You can have buddies who are badge users, and you can have Outside Buddies whom you can call from your badge. You can also send voice email to outside buddies from your badge.

• Send text messages to other badge users on your Vocera system.
• Create, modify, and delete text reminders for self, multiple users, and groups.
• Create, modify, and delete groups.

  This requires additional permission from the system administrator beyond access to the User Console.

The User Console has online help for each screen, which you can view by clicking the button. Instructions in Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format are also available from the Documentation tab on the navigation bar.
