Using the Badge Properties Editor

The Badge Properties Editor is installed in the \vocera\config directory on both the configuration computer and the Vocera Voice Server computer. If you are performing the initial badge configuration, run the Badge Properties Editor on the configuration computer.
Tip: Use the Badge Properties Editor to create and modify the badge.properties file instead of using a text editor. Some values in badge.properties are encrypted; in addition, other properties are case sensitive or accept only a limited range of values. Using the Badge Properties Editor reduces the likelihood of creating incorrect property names or values.
  1. Choose Start> Vocera> Badge Properties Editor.
    The Badge Properties Editor appears.
  2. Select the badge type you are configuring.
    You can specify properties for multiple badge types during each Badge Properties Editor session. After you finish setting properties for one badge type, click Apply to save the properties, and then choose another badge type.
  3. Set property values as described in the following topics:
    The Badge Properties Editor creates a text file called badge.properties in \vocera\config.

After you create the badge.properties file, you can upload the property values it contains to your badges.
