Open Signage

Action button widgets add touch buttons to a signage screen for bookings, visitor check-in, doors, attendance, and language switching. For scannable QR codes, see The QR code tiles. For slot rules and design-wide settings, see Widgets and where they fit.

Booking buttons

The Booking buttons widget shows check-in, check-out, and extend buttons for your chosen resources. Only enabled actions appear on the tile.

Under Follow device location, Auto scope narrows to Smart, This room, This floor, or This building.	Keep Follow device location next to one room. Select Specific resources on a shared kiosk serving several rooms.

Visitor self service buttons

The Visitor self service buttons widget offers walk-in registration, check-in, check-out, re-check-in, and guest Wi-Fi details. It renders as a compact tile in Action buttons, or beside a phone QR code on Main stage.

Settings are grouped into three sub-pages: On screen, QR code, and Registration.

Visitor self service buttons settings are divided into On screen, QR code, and Registration.

On screen settings let you turn walk-in registration and check-in on or off separately.

Open door button

The Open door button widget unlocks one door after identity verification on the screen. The tile uses the door name as its label. Add separate tiles to control multiple doors. If no door is chosen or both Allow users and Allow visitors are off, the tile stays inactive.

Supported slots: Action buttons

Setting	Description	When to change it
Door	Selects the door to unlock and sets the tile label.	Required on every tile. Add one tile per door.
Allow users	Lets staff verify their identity and unlock the door.	Turn off if the button is for visitors only.

Take attendance

The Take attendance widget lets staff sign in and sign out at the screen. Without a working schedule selected, the tile stays inactive and shows No working schedule set.

Supported slots: Action buttons

Setting	Description	When to change it
Working schedule	Selects the attendance schedule that records punches from this screen.	Required on every tile. Select the schedule for staff using this screen.

Show sign-out	Enables Sign out to end the workday.	Turn off at entrance-only doors.

When both switches are on, the tile shows Attendance and asks which action to record. When only one switch is on, the tile shows Sign in or Sign out and opens verification directly.

Language selection

The Language selection widget lets viewers switch the screen’s display language on the spot. Each language appears in its native script.

Supported slots: Action buttons

Setting	Description	When to change it
Design	List shows language options directly on the tile. Button shows one button that opens a picker dialog.	Select List for two or three languages. Select Button for larger language lists.

Scope and limitations

Source records and door hardware: Booking buttons needs active bookings, visitor buttons need Visiting records, and Open door button needs a configured access-control door.
Visual styling: Font size, appearance, and widget background apply across the whole design. See Widgets and where they fit.
Device location: Follow device location reads the building and floor set on the player device, not the content design.
