Platform v6 Prevent Text Messages from Being Sent to Offsite Users.

Introduced in v5.30: Voice Experience

Request to feature in Platform v6.x


Prevent Text Messages from Being Sent to Offsite Users. Vocera Administrators can prevent text messages and alerts sent to groups from being sent to users who might be offline or at a different site. This feature should be used for Groups which tend to receive a lot of location-sensitive messages.

For example, if a message is sent to Trauma Team A from Site A, and a user who is a member of that Group is working at a different site, the user who is offsite should not receive the message. The exception is that users and groups in the Global Site will always receive messages.
