Vina Custom Parameters

The XMPP adapter defines parameters that enable you to customize the behavior and appearance of Vocera Vina clients in your environment.

Note: You can also specify parameters that enable you to link third-party apps to Vocera Vina clients. See Third-Party App Parameters for more details.

To create or access the custom parameters, login to the Vocera Platform Web Console as an administrator, then click Settings, Adapters, and XMPP. Click Edit and scroll down to the Custom Parameters section.

This table lists the custom parameters that are available. Integer ranges listed here are recommended but not enforced.
