How to Use Smart Page

Smart Page should NOT be used for Code, STAT, Urgent or Priority pages. Instead, dial the page operator directly so that the paging system can give them the highest priority. Web-based Smart Page should be used ONLY for routine messages/pages.

Smart Page is a Stanford paging website that allows users to view and send messages; manage personal paging profile; and set,edit, and view on-call schedules.

The Smart Page portal displays four tabs: Global Search, My Messages & Settings, On-Call Assignments, and Report Directory Error.

Global Search

The Global Search allows you to search the entire paging and on-call directory, as well as the option to filter searches on profile, on call, and/or directory.

My Messages & Settings

On the My Messages & Settings tab you to view coverage and status, manage messages, view directory listings, and upload a directory photo by clicking the individual menu items.

On Call Assignments

On the On-Call Assignments tab you can search for On-Call schedules by department/specialty as well as previous on-call schedules.

Under Search Results, you can view the On-Call procedure by clicking the blue "i" icon.

On the History Tab, you can search 13 months of archived on-call schedule assignments. (Search goes no further than September 2015 when the new system was launched.)

Report Directory Error

Allows you to request an update to your directory information, i.e., phone number, address, etc.

NOTE: Please do not use Smart Page to send Code, STAT, Urgent, High Priority or Priority pages.
