AskCody Meeting Room Displays (also called Today+) display daily meeting activities and enable employees to schedule ad-hoc meetings directly on the display.
This makes it easier than ever to optimize your meeting room utilization, to reduce office friction and to give employees an overview of meetings and room reservations in the workplace. The Meeting Room Display prevents meeting interruptions and booking misunderstandings.
Setting up a Meeting Room Display configuration
Setting up Meeting Room Displays, the first thing you need to do is to set up a room display configuration. This allows you to control what information should be displayed and what features a Meeting Room Display should have enabled for your end-users.
A Meeting Room Display can only have one configuration at the time, but a configuration can be used and inherited on multiple displays at once. This enables you to change the displayed content on multiple displays without having to edit each individual display.
Please go through these steps to set up a Meeting Room Display configuration.
- Log in to the AskCody Management Portal with the credentials created when creating your organizational account on https://app.goaskcody.com. Choose EU or US.
- Click the menu tab in the upper left corner.
- Go to the Admin Center.
- In the Admin Center, click Today+ and select Configuration.
- Now, either edit the default configuration or add a new by selecting Add.
- Fill out the information and select the required features for the room display to support the needs of your organization.
- Click Add to finish and save the configuration
