Working with Multiple Sites / Managing Site Information |
Import site information to a spreadsheet to update a large amount of data.
When you add a site, you specify its name and a basic description only. You need to specify the users, groups, locations, address book entries, and devices that are associated with it separately.
To save time when adding a large number of sites, import them directly from a CSV (comma separated value) file to the Vocera database.
Field | Maximum Length | Description |
---|---|---|
Name | 50 | Enter the name of the site in the
Name field.
|
Description | 100 | (Optional) Enter a description of the site in the Description field. |
Alternate Spoken Site Name | 50 | (Optional) Enter the alternate name used to refer to the
site in the Alternate Spoken Name field. Use the Alternate Spoken Site Name field to enable Vocera to recognize variations of the exact site name. For example, if users commonly refer to a site by a nickname or an acronym, enter that variation here. |
Cost Center | 100 |
(Optional) Specify a cost center for the site in the Cost Center field. |
Spoken Name Count | n/a | The Spoken Name Count field displays
the total number of names that can possibly be used in a voice command for
this site. It includes the names of users, groups, sites, locations, address
book entries, and all possible alternate names, such as spellings of user
names and the singular and plural names of groups. Note: This field contains
a display-only value, and it does not appear in the data-loading
template.
|
Enable Code Lavender | n/a | Select the Enable Code Lavender
checkbox to enable Code Lavender on the site. This option is disabled by default. |
Enable Easter Eggs | n/a | Unselect the Enable Easter Eggs
checkbox to disable the Easter Eggs commands. This option is enabled by default. |
Emergency Broadcast Group |
n/a | (Optional) Specify the name of the group that receives
emergency broadcasts for this site in the Emergency Broadcast
Group field. If you have set an emergency group for each functional group in your organization, you can select your desired group while creating or editing a group or a site. For more information, see Emergency Broadcast Groups. |
Time Zone |
n/a | (Optional) Specify a time zone for the site in the
Time Zone field. By default, the time zone of the site is the time zone of the Vocera Voice Server. Reminders created through User Console follows the time zone specified for the Site. For example, if you belong to a Site that follows Pacific Standard Time time zone, all reminders that you created from the User Console follows this time zone. Note: This field does
not appear in the data-loading template.
|
Initiate Emergency Broadcast Silently |
n/a | Specifies whether to initiate emergency broadcasts at this
site silently, without playing a chime first. This option is disabled by default. You must have selected a group in the Emergency Broadcast Group field before enabling this option. Note: This field is not available for Groups on Add/Edit Group dialog
box. A silent emergency broadcast is configured at the site level
only. It applies to all the emergency groups for the entire site
including panic groups set per group.
|
Send Broadcasting User's Location to Emergency Broadcast Group | n/a | Specifies whether to send the location of the broadcasting
user to the emergency boradcast group. This option is disabled by default. You must have selected a group in the Emergency Broadcast Group field before enabling this option. |
