Overriding User Settings

Overrides let you establish baseline system settings at any time.

Changes to system defaults update the Vocera Platform Voice Service as soon as you save them, but they do not affect existing users unless you set the Override User Settings to Yes.

By default, Override User Settings is set to No for all default settings.

For example, to turn off the alert tones that announce a text message, you would deselect the Text Message Alert property on the Notifications page and set Override User Settings for that property to Yes. This change would affect all new and existing users.

If you later want to allow users to customize this property, set Override User Settings for the Text Message Alert property to No. The alert tones for all users remain turned off until they manually enable them again.
