Using Favorites
The Favorites app allows you to communicate with your favorite Vocera
contacts.
The list of favorite contacts is identical to the list of Buddies in the Vocera
User Console. A buddy is someone you can call by using a nickname in a
voice command, or a friend who is not in the Vocera system (also known as a
personal contact or an outside buddy).
When you select the Favorites app from the Vocera Apps screen, the Favorites
screen appears.
Use the Navigation keys to scroll down the list to find a favorite contact. When
a contact is selected, you can press
Call to call the contact, or press Menu to
list all commands available for that contact. The Menu varies based on the type
of contact selected.
To search for a favorite contact:
• Type the start of the contact's name. To search for a user, type the start of
the user's last name.
