Configuration of the Room Sign App

The EMS Room Sign App (formerly named EMS Glance) is an optional web-based application that turns your tablet (e.g., iPad, iPad mini, etc.) into a digital room sign. Mounted outside of a meeting room or workspace in either landscape or portrait orientations, the application indicates whether a space is available or in use. The application also provides functionality to support check-in, end, extend and book new meetings.

Settings

Admins can apply the permission for EMS Room Sign App configuration to users and user process templates in the EMS Desktop Client.

To apply permissions, admins will need to add Allow EMS Room Sign Administration to the special processes table through System Administration > Security > Processes section > Special > Allow EMS Room Sign Administration.

You can access settings through the EMS Glance Settings menu button in EMS Desktop Client. Additionally, users can access the settings for EMS Room Sign App through the Configuration menu:

Configuration > Room Sign > Room Sign Settings

Without EMS Room Sign configuration permission, users do not see the EMS Glance Settings menu button, and cannot access the EMS Room Sign App configuration settings through the menu button or the Configuration menu.
