How to Set Up On-Premises Users as VST Contacts

Specify the badge and VCS users who will appear as contacts in the VST Handheld Client and VST Web Client. VST users will be able to text and call these on-premises users.

When you install the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector, the groups VSTContacts and VSTUsers are automatically created on the Vocera Voice Server. You need to add Vocera Voice Server users to the VSTContacts group to make them show up as contacts in the VST app.

  1. Log into the Vocera Voice Server Administration Console.
  2. Select Groups in the sidebar menu on the left.
    The Add, Edit, and Delete Groups page appears.
  3. Select the VSTContacts group and choose Edit Group.
    The Edit Group dialog box appears.
  4. Select the Member tab.
    The Add, Delete, and Re-Order Group Members page of the Edit Group dialog box appears.
  5. Click Add Name.
    The Select User or Group dialog box appears.
  6. Select the users and groups you want to add as members of VSTContacts and click Finish.
    The users and groups appear in the Edit Group dialog box.
  7. Click Save.
    The Edit Group dialog box closes, and the Vocera Voice Server updates the membership of VSTContacts.
The next time the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector runs, it syncs the users in the VSTContacts group with the hosted VST database.
See How to View Integration Details for information about confirming the sync operation.
