Kio Cloud Smart Location represents your organization’s physical locations - from your campuses and their buildings to the building floors and rooms and spaces. Setup and management of your Smart Location is required to ensure location, occupancy, and tracking accuracy.

Topics include:
Smart Location setup is one of the first deployment steps and is required to be completed before Kontakt.io devices are installed.
First, you'll add a campus, each campus building, and the floors for each building. For each floor, you'll then upload a floor plan and draw the room locations.
Stationary infrastructure devices, including Portal Lights, Portal Beams, and Reference Beacons (Anchor Beacons) are required to be assigned their exact install location within your Smart Location. Please refer to the deployment details for each of these models for detailed instructions.
Note
When a change is made to your deployment, such as moving or removing a Kontakt.io device, be sure to update your Kio Cloud Smart Location. It's critical that your Smart Location mirrors your Kontakt.io infrastructure .

Kio Cloud Smart Location displays the basic real-time data received by your Kontakt.io devices. From the interactive floor plans, you can also dive deeper into the data at both the floor and room levels.
The image below provides an example of the floor-level data. Learn more about the real-time data.
