Creating Group Templates and Normalizers for Units

When you add a unit in CTS, you define specialized components called group templates and group normalizers that process group names provided by the Vocera Voice Server. This section provides background on these components, explains why they are necessary, and shows you how to create them.

Group templates use a simplified regular expression notation to filter Vocera Voice Server groups, allowing only role-and-location based groups into CTS management. Group normalizers use a Java regular expression notation to process the names output by the templates, providing a set of allowed location names and role names for the CTS database.

The following diagram shows the relationship between the Vocera Voice Server and the templates and normalizers that process group names for CTS.
