Other VCS Features / Notification Behavior on Android Devices |
Here is how notifications behave when you receive a message.
If you are in the VCS app but not in the Secure Messages screen, a notification appears at the top of the screen.
If you are in another app and the VCS app is running in the background, the tone and vibration for the message's priority are played. Depending on your device and operating system, you may see notification text at the top of your screen.
See About Profile Options for more information on setting the tone and vibration for each message priority.
If your screen is locked:
If you have received a message through the Vocera Messaging Interface (VMI) from an integrated device such as a patient monitor or a nurse call system, the message sender and the first few characters of the message are displayed on the lock screen if your administrator has enabled this capability on your system. This enables you to quickly triage and respond to urgent messages.
The number of characters displayed is the amount that can fit on one line of your screen.
If you receive multiple notifications for messages and you tap the notification, you are directed to the Secure Messages screen, not to a specific conversation. This enables you to choose which conversation to enter first. If you receive multiple notifications simultaneously, the tone and vibration played are for the highest-priority message.
