Devices can be added in the Control Centre in three ways.
Here’s how it’s done:
- Sign into the Control Centre;
- On the menu on the left, click “device”;
- On the right side of the screen, click on the blue + and select “add device list”;
- In your files, select the list of devices to be added.
- Choose whether to add or replace the device list;
- Select ‘submit’
Note: The CSV file that you share must always have the format (“device_id”; “device_type”; “object_id”; “description”). The last two columns are optional in this file. The description column can contain a maximum of 255 characters.
Note: The “device_type” in the CSV file should currently be either ‘desktop’ or ‘laptop’.
Note: The “object_id” is the unique identifier of the workspot and/or meeting room in Flexwhere. You can find them in the Control Centre on the map.
Note: When a CSV file is read and the option “Replace the current list of devices with a new one” is checked, the new devices are added. Existing devices will be modified or removed.
- Sign in to the Control Centre;
- On the menu on the left, click “device”;
- Click the “+” at the top right and choose “add a device.
- In the screen that appears, specify what type of device you want to add and what name and description you wish to use;
- Click “Add a device” to add the device.
Tip: You can use the MAC address of a docking station, the name of a laptop, the name of a workspot or the name of a thin/fat client.
If your organisation has a CSV file with devices, you can upload it to the correct location with SFTP. If a CSV file is available at the SFTP location, it will be processed each day in your organisation’s Flexwhere environment.
The SFTP location can be provided by our support team.
Note: The CSV file you provide should always be in the format (“device_id”; “device_type”; “object_id”; “description”). A description is optional here.
Note: When a CSV file is imported, new devices are added. Existing devices may be modified.
