Step 5: Basic Evoko Home setup

Next up is to setup Evoko Home and add rooms/users which this article will cover.

• Global Settings
• Default Room Settings
• Adding Structures and rooms
• Managing Users

Global settings

After the first sign in, you will have the option to edit your Global Settings.  In the table below you ca find the description of each field.

Default room settings

Next up is to set the default rooms settings which will apply to all rooms until configured otherwise.

Below settings can all be set to Require authentication which means, if enabled that users will authenticate using PIN/RFID on screen.

Adding structures and rooms

Start by adding structures.

Add/Import rooms in the left pane and assign to structures by drag-n-drop.

Under Rooms > Settings you can further configure your rooms by setting room equipment and capacity.

Template for Import Rooms:

Rooms Import Template.csv

Managing users

Under "Users" in Evoko Home you are able to add and administer users.

Adding users is not required unless you want to take advantage of the PIN/RFID Authentication to book meetings directly on the Liso. You can add users two ways:

Create single users

Click on the "Create User" button and enter credentials of the user you would like to add.

Import a list of users from a .csv file

Please see the attached users_template.csv file which you can use as a template for your own user list CSV file. Please note that Microsoft Excel is prone to saving the CSV in an invalid format so please use a text editor or edit the file programmatically.

It's very important to note if you are importing from a .csv file:

• The .csv must have name, email and type fields at least.
• The type field either needs to be Admin or User.
• If external is true, type must be user - external users can't be admins.
• The RFID needs to be in reversed hex format.

If any of the lines in the CSV do not meet these criteria, the invalid lines will be skipped during import.
