From this online help location, you can download the PDF version of the VCS 3.1.0 documentation.

This release includes the following new features and functionality.

• Message forwarding now available. You can now forward all messages to another user, and view who has forwarded messages to you.

• Tone and vibration now can be specified for additional notifications. You can now specify the common notification tone to use for forwarded messages, changes in On-Call status, or New Content. You can also specify whether to turn vibration on or off for these notifications.

• It is now easier to add new participants to a message conversation. When viewing message details, you can now tap Add Participant to add new participants to the message conversation.

• Site information now displayed for each contact. In a contact list, each contact now has its site displayed. This makes it possible to distinguish between contacts with identical names on different sites. If no site is provided for a contact, the Global default site is specified.

• Notification banner now displays message response and content information. A notification banner now appears at the top of the app if you send a message that requires a response, you have set the Notify Me option, and no response has been sent. A notification banner also appears if new content has been made available to you.

• Autoconfiguration can now supply either a domain name or an IP address. When you are configuring a new personal or shared device, autoconfiguration can be set up to automatically display either the domain name or the IP address of the VMP Server. In previous versions of VCS, only the IP address could be displayed.

This release includes the following known issues and limitations for versions of the Vocera Collaboration Suite running on Apple iOS operating systems.

1. Incorrect application notification tone played for message sent while VCS app is in background (iOS 10.0.2). If you are using VCS on a device running iOS 10.0.2, and your VCS app receives a message while running in the background, the default Tritone is played instead of the notification tone specified in the application. This happens because of a bug in the iOS 10.0.2 operating system. To resolve this problem, reboot the device.

2. Second breakthrough call received without chime. If you are in a call, and you receive an incoming urgent call, broadcast, or urgent broadcast that breaks through your existing call, the new call is automatically answered without a notification chime. (DE7800)

3. Message status not properly updated on iPad. There is a known problem with message status updates when using VCS on an iPad. This occurs when you send a message and then tap the message to display the Message Details screen. If your recipient reads the message, and you then tap Back to return to the message conversation, the message status is not properly updated from Delivered to Read. If you leave the conversation and return to it, the message status is updated. This problem occurs on the iPad only. (DE12333)

4. Camera may launch with black screen (iOS 10+). If your device is running iOS 10+, there is a possibility that the camera provided with the device may launch with a black screen. To work around this problem, switch to the Video tab and then back to the Photo tab. (DE12490)

5. Audio not resumed on Vocera call when interrupted by cellular call (iOS 10). If you are using using VCS on a device running iOS 10, and are in a Vocera call and receive a cellular phone call, your Vocera call is interrupted as expected. When the cellular call ends, the audio on the Vocera call is not properly restored. (DE12512)

6. Login name not updated in VCS 2.0 compatibility mode when new user logs in. If you are using VCS with VMP Server 4.9.4 and are therefore seeing the VCS 2.0 user interface, and you log out from your device as one user and log in as another, the Menu screen displays the name of the first user. If you terminate the app and restart it, the correct user name appears. (DE12585)
