Working with Multiple Sites / Managing Site Information |
You can transfer any combination of users, groups, locations, address book entries, and devices from one site to another.
For example, if your organization has closed its New York office and is relocating some employees to the Philadelphia office, you can transfer those users from the New York site to the Philadelphia site.
Similarly, if you have been working with a single site installation of Vocera and are now expanding to support multiple sites, you can transfer your existing users, groups, locations, address book entries, and devices from the default Global site to one of the new sites you are creating.
Vocera prevents you from transferring a group or location in the source site that already has the same name as a group or location in the destination site. Vocera transfers all the other entities you specified and then indicates that errors occurred, as described later in this section.
The home site of a group and the home sites of its members are not necessarily the same. Consequently, transferring a group to a different site does not automatically transfer its members.
When you transfer site data, Vocera prompts you for the following information.

When you transfer users to a new site, the Badge Status Monitor immediately displays their new site in the Current Site column, even if the users are still physically located at the original site. When the users reboot their badges, the Badge Status Monitor displays their new current site.
