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.
