Vocera Messaging Platform users can create or send a secure message to users or Distribution
Lists using the VMP Web Console. The console provides an interface for sending messages from your
Web browser.
Note: The text of a message can be up to 3000 characters long, and the subject header can contain up to 512 characters. Any ASCII character can be included,
but emojis are not supported.
About Mass Notifications
When you create a message that has more than 50 recipients, it is automatically treated as a Mass Notification.
Continuing a Message Conversation
After you have sent or have received a secure message in the VMP Web Console, you can continue a conversation with the recipients or sender of the message.
Adding a Quick Message to a Conversation
A quick message is a pre-defined message text that you can select and add to your conversation without having to type any text. This enables you to quickly add frequently used or urgent messages to the conversation.
Filtering Message Conversations
You can specify the message conversations that are to be displayed in the Secure Messages screen.
Hiding a Message
If you do not need to save a message, you can hide it.
Patient Information and Alarms
Your system administrator may have linked your VMP environment to an Engage environment. Two types of Engage environment connections are supported.
System Notifications for New Messages
When you are logged into the VMP Web Console, you will see a system notification whenever you receive a new message if you are using a browser that supports this.
