Calling with Department Names
52 ··· Vocera User Guide
Note:
You may hear confirmation prompts frequently when you first start
using your Vocera device, as the people you call are added to your inner circle.
As your inner circle becomes populated, you will hear these prompts less and
less often.
Calling with Department Names
If your system administrator sets up departments, they are a convenient way
to contact other users on the Vocera system. When you use a department in a
voice command, Vocera can:
• Differentiate among users with the same first and last names.
For example, if your site has two users named John Smith, you can issue the
voice command "Call John Smith in Hardware".
• Identify a Vocera user when you know the first name and department, but
not the last name, of other people at your site.
For example, you can issue the voice command "Call Sue in Hardware".

Calling a Group Member
The system administrator may create groups of Vocera users and provide a
list of groups for you to use in commands. When you call a group, you are
actually calling an available member of that group, not everyone in the group.
The Vocera server determines which member to try first, based on the ordering
method the system administrator or group manager chooses.
