You can use the built-in dialing macros to create a single contact that
any Vocera device user can access to call home.
Vocera interprets the %H dialing macro in this example as the
value you provided in the Home Phone field of the
Contact Information section of the New User or
Edit User page.
-
Create a contact as described in Adding a Contact.
-
Make sure the Is it a person? field is not selected.
-
In the Name field, enter
a name such as My House.
Make sure you use at least two
words in the name for optimal speech recognition.
Do not use the name "My Home" for this contact. Device users can
issue the command "Forward calls to my home phone" to
forward calls when they are away from their facility. If users
instead accidentally forward calls to the contact called "My
Home", other badge users who call them will experience
unexpected results. Users should not forward calls to a contact
that evaluates to the %H macro.
-
Enter %H in one of the Phone
fields.
-
Click Save to close the dialog box and save the
entry.
When a user issues the voice command "Call My House", Vocera automatically dials
the specific user's home phone number.
