Here is the layout of the Home screen:

	Tap here to display the application menu. From this menu, you can view your availability status, view your profile picture, manage your favorites, change your settings, view help, or log out.
	Your name, as specified in the server. If your administrator has included a personal title for you (such as MD or RN), this title is displayed after your name.
	In Vocera Vina, conversations and alerts are organized into tabs, which are contained in a colored ribbon at the top of the screen. See Ribbon Colors for details on the ribbon color and what it means. The tabs in this ribbon can be any of the following: Non-Patient: Conversations that do not include patient information. Home: All conversations. By default, this is the middle tab. If any conversations contain unread or unacknowledged messages, or contain unacknowledged alerts, the total number of these conversations that need attention is displayed here. My Patients: Links to all patients that have been assigned to you. Patient Linked: Conversations that include patient information. Archive: Archived conversations. Your site administrator may also have defined customized tabs for you. In the Home screen, conversations are organized in a specific order.

You can specify what tabs are to be displayed on the screen. See Customizing the Display Tabs for details.
