When you reply to a message, you may use the left pane of the Secure Text page to add recipients. When your reply is sent, existing recipients are notified that additional recipients are now included in the conversation.
To add recipients when replying to a text message:
-
On the Secure Text page, click a message
in your list of recent messages.
The VST Web Client displays the most recent messages in the conversation—a scrolling list of messages with the same subject, to and from the same recipient.
-
In the left pane, click the Add icon
(
)
next to the sender's name.
The New recipient box appears, allowing you to add recipients.
-
Begin typing any part of the user's or group's name in the New recipient box.
The list of contacts begins to filter based on the characters you enter.
Note: Although you can send a new message to a recipient who is not a VST user, you may add only VST users to existing conversations. -
Choose the new recipient from the filtered list that appears.
The additional recipient appears in the list of recipients, and the Vocera Secure Texting Web Client displays a message indicating that a new recipient has been added. This message is displayed for every recipient of the conversation.
You can add multiple recipients in this manner, up to a total of 20.
Note: Added users will not see any messages in the conversation until a new response is sent. -
Continue replying to the message as described in How to Reply to a Message.
When your reply is sent, the message about additional recipients is displayed for every recipient of the conversation.
