Get Started with EMS Room Sign App

This topic discusses the different settings in your EMS Room Sign App (formerly named EMS Glance). 

Access EMS Room Sign App Settings 

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

  1. On the EMS Desktop Client toolbar, click EMS Room Sign App Settings.

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

    • Global Settings – Exposes 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, a single profile can be configured to manage a single meeting room or multiple meeting rooms. 

      Learn more about Configure EMS Room Sign App Profiles.

      A particular device is tied to one specific room in EMS. Profiles just provide you with 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 (the default 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:

  • Available

  • In progress

Both Global and Profile settings determine the booking information that is displayed on the various screens.
