broadcasts

The broadcasts table stores data about broadcasts made to Vocera groups. This table has a primary key based on the TxMillis column.

Table 1. broadcasts table
Column Description
TxMillis

bigint(15) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'

The TxMillis column gives each row in the table a unique identifier. The value represents the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 (a date specified for internal use by the report system). Because of the uniqueness constraint, it may not reflect the exact actual date and time of the event. See TxDateTime.

TxDateTime

datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

The TxDateTime column stores the date and time of an event, accurate to the second.

TxDate

date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00'

The TxDate column stores the date of an event, accurate to the day.

UserType

varchar(20) NOT NULL default ''

The UserType column specifies which type of user initiated the broadcast. Example values: User, Phone

UserID

varchar(70) default NULL

The UserID column specifies the user ID of the person who initiated the broadcast. This value corresponds to a User ID specified via the Administration Console or the User Console on the Vocera server.

UserSite

varchar(50) default NULL

In a multi-site installation, the UserSite column specifies the Vocera site with which the user is associated. In a single-site installation, this value is null.

GroupName

varchar(50) default NULL

The GroupName column specifies the Vocera group to which the broadcast was sent.

GroupSite

varchar(50) default NULL

In a multi-site installation, the GroupSite column specifies the Vocera site associated with the group to which the broadcast was sent. In a single-site installation, this value is null.

Duration

bigint(15) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'

The Duration column specifies the duration of the broadcast in seconds.

IdBroadcast

bigint(15) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'

The IdBroadcast column identifies a Vocera broadcast. However, this value is not guaranteed to be unique. Any given broadcast could have the same IdBroadcast value as another broadcast that took place earlier or later. One way to distinguish broadcasts is to compare values in the TxMillis column.

IdGenie

bigint(15) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'

The IdGenie column identifies a Genie session. A single Genie session may comprise several events. For example, a Genie session for a badge-to-badge call may include the "Vocera" prompt played on the calling party's badge and the "Can you talk to ..." prompt played on the called party's badge.

In the table, rows for events in the same Genie session have the same value in the IdGenie column. However, this value is not guaranteed to be unique. Any given Genie session could have the same IdGenie value as another Genie session that took place earlier or later. One way to distinguish Genie sessions is to compare values in the TxMillis column.
