Sep 3 | Density Live for Employees
Who is it for?
Workplace employees
Key Features
- Admin users can share a secure, employee-facing Live URL directly with employees. They can share this link (1) through their own internal website or internal communications channels or (2) by adding a QR code to existing Live displays that employees can scan.
- Each floor has a unique shareable URL that Admin users can access from a menu in the top right corner of Density Admin.
- Employees can access a shareable URL to view Live on a phone, tablet, or computer. After logging in with their company credentials, they can use Live to see real-time availability of meeting rooms and phone booths, as well as the busyness of shared amenities like cafes, kitchens, and break rooms.
Availability
- Live is currently available to clients who have OA installed.
- Employees do NOT need to have Atlas user logins. However, the client must have SSO enabled with Density before sharing out the link(s). For information on setting up SSO, see How to Setup Single Sign-On (SSO) with Atlas.

July 12 | Creating and Managing Live Landmarks and Displays
Who is it for?
Density Live users responsible for the setup, rollout, and ongoing maintenance of Live displays.
What does it help them do?
Set up and manage Live displays.
Key Features

- When adding a display for the first time, "Interactive setup mode" can be toggled on from the Edit Display popup to show a one-time menu for saving changes made to Live from a touch-screen display (e.g., pinching to zoom in/out, dragging the floor plan around the screen, etc.).
