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

• Create and manage multiple Live displays and floor-level landmarks in the new Admin view
• See Live display location(s) on a floor plan and generate a unique URL per display. This URL can be used to render Live on a display screen via the device's browser with the correct floor plan orientation.
• Add optional preset landmarks to the floor plan (e.g., street (customizable), pin (customizable), elevator, stairs, kitchen, or restroom) and move or delete them.
• 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.).

Available to locations with Open Area sensors installed

Key Features

• Real-time space availability is shown on a floor plan: red = in use, yellow = booked, green = available

• When integrated with room booking systems, Density Live shows in yellow spaces that are booked but not in use and lets employees book a room directly from the display
• Admin users can configure and save multiple displays with 2D, 3D views and landmarks (ex. elevator locations, street names) to help employees find their way more easily
• Admin users can see sensor locations on a floor plan so that you can easily see where they’re installed and see when any sensors go offline
