The following will provide a short introduction to some of the new functionalities in Digital Sign Service. More information can be found in the different user guides for Digital Sign Service on our web.

WORKSPACE

Workspace is a mobile app for Android and iPhones, which provides an easy way to book Microsoft Office 365 resources e.g. meeting rooms and hot-desks.



Utilizing the Floor Plan or just by searching, Workspace enables the user quickly to locate and reserve available meeting rooms. Meeting Rooms tailored to your specification or a hot-desk close to your preferred colleague(s) or Team members.


Workspace lets you add QR Codes to all your Microsoft Office 365 resources, hereby enabling Workspace to view availability or to book the resource which is scanned with a QR Code.

Workspace takes Microsoft Office 365 resource booking into the modern workplace.

  • No Show report, lists all meetings, which has been automatically ended - due to missing user confirmation of meeting.

Reports can be located in the backend of Digital Sign Service, under the REPORTS section.

For system admins, it could be a cumbersome task to be sure how a given Door Sign or Meeting Directory looked like. Earlier, this would require the system admin to walk to the actual signage. Hence, we have included this new feature in our interface. You are now able to request a screen dump from a Digital Sign Client device. It is located under CONFIGURATION, Devices to request a screen dump.
