  2. In Global Settings, make sure the Humly hostname is correct.

Meeting rooms

Select meeting rooms which will be shown on the Wayfinding screen and also select the direction to the meeting rooms. Room distance is a free text form which can be used to set i.e. number of meters or yards to the meeting room or if it’s on a different floor.

Display on screen

Select which language, timezone &, time format you want the Wayfinding to use. Also, select whether you want to display meeting organiser and meeting subject.

 

We recommend displaying both meeting organiser and meeting subject so that it will be easier for meeting organisers and participants to find their meeting room.

Rotate content

Depending on the aspect ratio or orientation (landscape or portrait) of the display which will be showing the Wayfinding, the user interface might need to be rotated for a better user experience.

 

Browse logo…

Upload a logotype which will be displayed in the upper left corner of the Wayfinding.

 

Image file size can be maximum 1MB(1048576 bytes) and common image formats such as PNG, JPEG are recommended. If no logotype is uploaded the Humly logotype will be used as default.

 

Header

By default the header will automatically use either building name or floor name depending on which structure to show meeting rooms for. It’s possible to set your own custom header by entering your own text in this form.

 

Show available desks

If you have a Desk Booking license and bookable desks in the selected building or on the selected floor for which the Wayfinding will show meeting rooms, it’s possible to also show desk availability.

If this checkbox is selected (by default it’s not selected) it will disable Footer 1 (Title) and Footer 1 (Subtitle), and replace those texts with the default Desk Booking availability information.

 

Footer 1 (Title)

Custom title text which will be shown in the bottom left corner of the Wayfinding. Will be disabled if Show available desks is selected.

 

Footer 1 (Subtitle)

Custom subtitle text which will shown in the bottom left corner of the Wayfinding. Will be disabled if Show available desks is selected.

 

Footer 2 (Title)

Custom title text which will be shown in the bottom right corner of the Wayfinding.

 

Footer 2 (Subtitle)

Custom subtitle text which will be shown in the bottom right corner of the Wayfinding.

 

Footer 2 (URL for QR code)

Enter the URL which can be accessed by users when they scan the QR code with their smartphone or tablet.

 

Tip! If your organisation is using Humly Reservations it would be possible to use that URL so when users scan the QR code it will open up Humly Reservations in their browser and they can book meeting rooms or desks directly from their smartphone or tablet.
