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.
The setup of your Smart Location is one of the first deployment steps and is required to be completed before you begin to install your Kontakt.io devices.
During setup, 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 each space within the floor - including rooms, corridors, to all areas being monitored for tracking or location solutions.
When deploying and installing your Kontakt.io stationary devices, including Portal Beams, Portal Lights, and Reference Beacons, the devices are assigned to their Smart Location installation location including placing them onto the floor plan at their exact location.
Note
When a change is made to your device deployment, such as moving or removing a Kontakt.io stationary device, be sure to update its assigned Smart Location.
