Configure EMS Room Sign App

This topic provides information on configuring the following in EMS Room Sign App (formerly named Glance): 

Access EMS Room Sign App (formerly named Glance) Settings

  • From the Configuration menu on the EMS Desktop Client, select Room Sign.
  • The Room Sign menu shows the options for Deregister Device, Global Settings, Profiles and Room Sign Settings.

When configuring devices (such as tablets) to use the EMS Room Sign App, use these Best Practices.

  1. On the EMS Desktop Client toolbar, click EMS Glance Settings.

  2. The EMS (Glance) Room Sign App main window opens. The window displays three configuration options:

    • Global Settings – Contains all of the EMS Room Sign App global settings, which determine the behavior for a particular EMS Room Sign App unit or group of EMS Room Sign App units. Profile settings can overwrite Global Settings.
    • Profiles – Controls the functionality of your EMS Room Sign App units. Depending on how you would like to manage your EMS Room Sign App devices, you can configure a single profile to manage a single meeting room or multiple meeting rooms. 

      A particular device is tied to one specific room in EMS. Profiles provide flexibility in how you choose to manage the configuration of your devices.

    • Refresh All Units – Forces all units to refresh their settings. Use this setting after modifying a specific Profile or Global Settings to force all of your units to pick-up the setting change(s).

Global Settings

Global settings affect the booking detail information that is displayed for all the profiles in your EMS Room Sign App instance.

You can set how information displays at the Global level (defaults for all Profiles) or for just one profile.

You can override these settings on a per profile basis on the Settings tab of the Profile dialog.

Primary EMS Room Sign App Screens

EMS Room Sign App consists of two primary screens: the Available and In Progress. Global settings and Profile settings determine the booking information that display on the various screens.
