Best Practices for Device Configuration

The EMS Room Sign App (formerly named EMS Glance) is an optional web-based application that turns your mobile device into a digital room sign. Mounted outside of a meeting room or workspace in either landscape or portrait orientations, the application indicates whether a space is available or in use. The application also provides functionality to support check-in, end, extend, and book new meetings.

We recommend three hardware partners for the EMS Room Sign App:

•  Iadea
• Aura/ResourceXpress
• Crestron.

To use the EMS Room Sign App effectively, configure the device as follows:

• Enable full-screen web browser.
• Place tablet in kiosk mode.
• Disable auto-lock.
• Disable notifications, pop-ups, auto-updates.
• Disable multitasking gestures (pinch, zoom, swipe).
• Reboot on power-off.
• Enable auto-login.​
• Auto-launch browser on login.
• Browser should contain an on-screen keyboard for text fields and a scroller for time roller.
• Set account permissions to deny access to other parts of the tablet OS.
• Auto-launch browser if closed.
• Hide the address bar and shortcuts.
