Connecting to your scheduling system In this video We will explain where to set up the connection to your scheduling system We will discuss the different platforms that we support We will explain how you can get detailed information for what you will need to connect to your specific platform The Door Tablet server offers several connections to different scheduling systems and this is set up here, in the system profile of the admin web UI At this point you should have already installed the Door Tablet server and have rooms set up in your scheduling system The Door Tablet system works by tablets, also known as end-points making requests to the Door Tablet server to access the backend scheduling system and obtain information This information, in turn, goes back to the end-points For each scheduling platform different information will need to be obtained to make this connection To see what information is required, we select our scheduling system in the basics tab Let’s look at the different platforms One of the most common platforms is Microsoft 365 but this is not the only platform even in the Microsoft environment For example, Microsoft exchange is used by some organisations that work exclusively on prem Once you have obtained the information that is required you can click here to test the connection to Microsoft 365 and obtain the number of resources available You will test the connection this way for most other platforms Google workspace is also popular and is very similar in architecture to Microsoft 365 Other platforms include HCL Domino which used to be IBM Domino Here the Door Tablet system is embedded in HCL Domino so there is no need to check connectivity The Door Tablet Standard Interface – or DTSI is an open standard for connecting to a whole range of scheduling platforms A company that wants to use DTSI would have to implement DTSI responders These are server responses to calls made by Door Tablet, so it’s like a Reverse API For example, if you have an academic scheduling system that you have control over and you can program you can use that scheduling platform to create the responders required by DTSI The result is that you can display course schedules outside auditoriums or classrooms that show what’s happening on the academic scheduling system Next is Planon this is a facility management system that has a Door Tablet connector Not only is Planon used for asset management but it is also used for booking meeting spaces All the capabilities that Door Tablet has are brought into a Planon environment including all the end points types, such as meeting rooms and wayfinding displays If your system is unable to provide responses such as DTSI you can create text files that your tablet will read and will present them as schedules on the endpoints Just to note, schedules that are provided in text files are read only This means you can’t book a meeting directly from the tablet as in this configuration there is no functionality to modify the text files Therefore, if you saved the system profile now this checkbox here would become automatically checked Axxerion, now called ‘Spacewell’ is another facility management system like Planon that also allows organisations to book meeting rooms We will go into the specifics of how to connect to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace in other videos For help with any other scheduling platform just click on this icon and the appropriate page will appear on the Door Tablet help system giving you all the information needed to complete the connection Thank you for watching Door Tablet integrates room and workspace management with existing enterprise systems.
