Visix Ships Version 3.8 of Its Connect Meeting Room Sign

Visix Room ConnectVisix is shipping version 3.8 of its Connect meeting room sign with expanded administrative controls, more on-screen features and UI workflow and design enhancements.

Connect room signs show schedules and allow bidirectional booking from Microsoft Exchange and Office 365, EMS Platform Services, Google Calendars and Live25 by CollegeNET. The interactive touchscreen lets users book, start, extend, end and cancel meetings at the room sign. The on-screen UI has a variety of professional space management features like drop-down calendars, room availability search and administrative PIN controls. Each sign can show a logo, image playlist, room number and resource icons, and meeting participants can report issues with any room resource right at the sign.

In version 3.8, UIs for both the room sign device and Connect Room Manager application, which manages configuration and playback options, have been updated with a host of new features and workflow enhancements.

When designing or editing room sign screen layouts, administrators can now configure whether private meeting details for Exchange calendars, such as meeting title and organizer, are either shown, hidden or overridden. Calendar account workflows have a new “location” field that lets users describe where the room is physically located in the facility. The “find available rooms” option on room signs can now display location, capacity and availability time columns, as well as a booking button.

A variety of features have also been added for device monitoring and alarms, and new workflows allow administrators to remotely reboot and upgradedevices to simplify management of large deployments. Administrators can also set automatic email notifications for devices that haven’t refreshed within a certain time period.

Visix customers with a support subscription receive software updates at no charge and can request the 3.8 update. More information on connect room signs here.
