When you type a text message on the Vocera smartphone, you can display a list of
Quick Notes, commonly-used phrases and expressions.
You can select one of the Quick Notes to insert it into the message, saving you from
typing the text.
The Vocera system administrator can customize the Quick Notes list, adding phrases or
expressions that your organization commonly uses. The Quick Notes list is common to all
Vocera users. Individual users cannot create a personal Quick Notes list.
By default, the Quick Notes list on the Vocera smartphone includes the following phrases:
-
Yes
-
No
-
OK
-
Call me back
-
Need help
-
Where are you?
-
Will call you later
-
Busy
-
On my way
-
Thank you
-
Need more info
-
Can this wait?
To create a custom Quick Notes list for all Vocera smartphone users:
-
In a text editor, enter each note on a separate line.
Limit each note to 100 characters. That is the maximum number of characters
you can enter into a text message on the smartphone.
Do not add more than 15 notes to the list. Otherwise, users may find the list
too long to be helpful.
-
Save the document to a file named quicknotes.txt.
-
Copy the quicknotes.txt file to the following folder on
the Vocera Voice Server. If you have a Vocera cluster, copy the file to every
Vocera Voice Server
node.
\vocera\data\applications\contacts
-
Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Services. The Services window
appears.
-
Stop the Tomcat service and then start it again.
-
Close the Services window.
Note:
The quicknotes.txt file is NOT synchronized continuously
with Vocera cluster nodes, unlike Vocera Voice Server database transactions. However, the file is
automatically copied from the active Vocera node to standby nodes during a remote
restore.
