Group name |
Specify a name for the group using any combination of letters and numbers. |
Office number |
Enter the main contact number for the organization, optionally using parentheses and dashes for
formatting. A third-party provider used by Vocera assigns a Voice Number
based on the area code that you entered.
If the Office Number has a toll-free area code, a Voice Number
is not created. In this situation, use a conventional area code for the Office Number,
save the organization, and let the third-party provider assign a number in that area code. Then change the
Office Number to use the toll-free area code and save the organization again.

The phone number that allows users to place calls from the Vocera Secure Texting app, provided by a third-party service.
This number is provided automatically when you create an organization, and it is not editable.

Specify a default time zone for the organization. The time zone is used for the time stamp
of messages that are sent by members of the organization.
|

server for the duration of the message retention period. By default, message expiration time is seven days.
|
Allow messages to non-users via email and SMS |
When set to yes, users may send messages to people outside their organization by specifying their email

VST client
Contacts list. Changes to this setting take effect after approximately 30 minutes and
require the user to switch tabs in the application.

Specify the duration of the tone that is played for high priority messages.
By default, the duration is 30 seconds.
|
Message retention period |
Specify the amount of time that message content persists in the
