A department is a named grouping of rooms within a single campus, spanning its buildings and floors. You create the department and then assign rooms to it. Departments are shared across Kio Apps to group data on dashboards and views and serve as a user's home location. In healthcare settings, departments are sometimes called units. The two terms refer to the same thing in Smart Location.
Before you begin
- Signed in to Kio Cloud with the Smart Location Administrator or Creator role
- Rooms configured in Smart Location (departments reference rooms; rooms must exist first)
Steps
- Open Smart Location from the Kio Cloud Launchpad.
- In the navigation, select Departments.
- select Create department.
- Enter a Name for the department.
- Select the Location of the Department — the Campus and the Building or a Floor. You will be able to switch floors or buildings when adding rooms to the department.
- Select Continue.
- **Add rooms **to the department by building floor. From the floor map, select each room to add. To switch to a different floor or building, use the location selector above the floor map.
- Select Save.
