The Show Colleagues feature, allows users to easily and quickly identify reservations that were made by their colleagues or other users, in both map (floorplan) or list views. This feature is enabled by sliding the Show Colleagues slider to ON. Once this is done, the reserved workspaces will display the user icons of the respective users that had reserved the workspace. However, if the user had made the reservation private, then the user icon would not be displayed.

This can be easily rectified by assigning the Author role to these users.This also applies to the “Everyone can manage” permissions in an advanced channel; the Author role is now a prerequisite. For example, a Location Admin that does not also have an Author role assigned, will not be able to view the channel or other channels in Channels.    8.0-ac.28Release Date: 27 Mar 2021This build is focused on user improvements.Users UpdateThe following updates have been included in the Users module in the Appspace console:The batch user invitation workflow has been updated to include a phone number as an optional field.

If no target selected, the rule applies to all. Allow a rule to be applied more than once (e.g. the “Restricted Days/Times” constraint applied twice but with different targets). If same targets, existing rule is overwritten. If a user is targeted by multiple rules of the same type, the following logic is applied. Priority The inherited rule is lower in priority than the direct rule. The target user is higher than the target user group that the user belongs to. If priority is the same, then the last rule created (sort based on date) is used. These rule types are replaced based on priority: Min duration, max duration, min book time, max advance book time, capacity. These rule types are replaced based on the OR rule: Restricted Days/Times.

User listings now display more information on the dashboard, allowing administrators to quickly identify users based on user name, email address, roles, user groups, and status. User listings can be displayed in a grid or listing view. Apart from the usual user details on the User Profile page, administrators now can view the roles, channels, and channel group permissions the user has been granted with.

The User Group Library is enabled from the User Group profile page and can be configured for automatic content deletion. All user roles and permissions are now assigned via the Users module. User roles have also been given an uplift to make it easier for new users to easily assign roles based on functions. We have renamed some old roles: Portal Administrator –> Portal Admin Account Administrator –> Account Admin Account Owner Network Administrator –> Location Admin Content Administrator –> Publisher Content Producer –> Author Standard user –> Viewer NoteSee Browse and Navigate Users Module in Appspace 8.0 article for more information. Improvements to Appspace MenuAs part of our on-going UI improvements exercise, the following interfaces have been renamed and changed:The “network” terminology has been replaced with “locations” throughout the Appspace platform, to aptly personify how we now would like users to categorize and group devices according to their physical location in a geographical location, campus location, or building.

With the above change, the Maps module, previously housed under Admin > Maps in the Appspace menu, which allowed users to create floor plans and maps according to a geographical location, campus location, or building (previously tied to the network structure) has been aptly moved to Locations, which is housed in the main Appspace menu sidebar.

This integration is necessary to support the newly introduced Social card by Appspace. The Social card theme consists of the Facebook card and the Instagram card, and is available in the Appspace Library. The cards allow organizations to display the respective social media posts from either a corporate account or page, together with other corporate communications content in the playlist.Resolved EscalationsAE-6321 – Performance issues on private cloud server when navigating to Devices and Channels on the Appspace menu, or when switching between different networks.

The card can be added to either a playlist channel or advanced channels. The thumbnail of the Content Conversion card is automatically generated by taking the first page of the content by default, but users are able to change this in the content thumbnail section. The converted content in the Content Conversion card is not editable. Only file names that are alphanumeric can be successfully uploaded as a security measure, thus file names containing any form of special characters will automatically fail to upload.Known Issues:In the current release, we are unable to convert files that have Unicode filenames, found mainly in Arabic and Asian fonts. We are currently working on a fix, which shall be released in our upcoming update. As a workaround, we recommend renaming files containing Unicode, to non-Unicode characters for the conversion service to convert files successfully. This feature is not supported on legacy devices. Organizations that are still using legacy devices may disable this by contacting Appspace Support, as legacy devices do not support Cards.Resolved EscalationsAE-6353 – Unable to create HDMI Input on BrightSign external content in Library.

Firmware Support Webview Card Supporting the latest updates to the Webview card, allowing the iframe to reflect the configured style set by the Media Zone widget. This improvement resolves the issue experienced by the Progressive Web App (PWA), iOS, and Webex devices.   RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-10803 – Advanced channel content audio plays from another layout. AE-10958 – On-screen engagement features displayed outside of the operating hours.    14 Aug 2024, ThursdayApp for Devices 2.74Release Platform: AllNEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description Impact/Outcome Real-Time App Communication – Channel Updates In this update, when a device with push updates enabled receives a “channel.unassigned” Push Notification Service (PNS) message, the device will now automatically display a “No channels assigned” page. This update is designed to provide users with a clear and immediate indication that no channels are currently assigned to their devices.   Real-Time App Communication – Push Update The failed content download retry mechanism has been enhanced to improve timing based on the Push Update setting.   With Push Update enabled: The retry for failed content downloads will now initiate after a delay determined by the “cdnagent.contentdownloadcycle” setting (e.g., 20 seconds). With Push Update disabled: The retry will occur during the next scheduled sync cycle.   Device Tasks and Health Services Previously, if the system failed to retrieve the timestamp, both the Advanced Device Management (ADM) and Health services would stop, causing devices to be incorrectly marked as “Lost Communications”. This issue made critical device tasks inoperable and led to confusion and concern for users, as it seemed that devices were offline or malfunctioning.   With this update, the system now better handles prolonged server errors by allowing devices to continue reporting their “Online” status to Appspace, even if timestamp retrieval fails. This prevents false alarms and ensures accurate device status, allowing critical device tasks to continue functioning as expected and providing a more reliable experience for users.   App Update Improvements Previously, during an App update, the cached timestamp and script were always deleted, requiring the App to retrieve them from the server, which resulted in increased server load.   To address this, a version check for the app script parser has been introduced during updates. This check determines whether the channel timestamp should be cleared based on changes in the script parser version, optimizing server performance. When script versions are incompatible: The App will clear the cached timestamp and restart to ensure proper functioning with the new script version. When script versions are undefined or unchanged: The App will retain the cached timestamp, avoiding unnecessary restarts and reducing server load. This enhancement ensures that the App only clears the cached timestamp when necessary, thereby improving efficiency during updates.   BrightSign – Audio Improvements When switching from the second layout (HDMI Input) back to the first layout, the audio from the HDMI Input continued to play due to incomplete disposal of the HDMI video, which only paused instead of stopping.   This issue has been resolved by implementing fixes that mute widgets, video objects, and audio during layout transitions, ensuring that audio does not persist when switching between layouts.   Appspace App for Devices – Support for ChromeOS LTS 126 Support for ChromeOS LTS 126 on Appspace App for Devices. Firmware Support FIXED BUGSAPC-7270 – The Appspace App for Windows crashes when the ALT key is pressed.

AE-10938 – Worker device reboots when configured for synchronized playback.    12 July 2024, FridayApp for Devices 2.73Release Platform: All (except BrightSign)NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description Impact/Outcome On-Screen Engagement – Player Properties This release introduces the following player properties to manage the visibility of QR codes on posts. By default, if on-screen engagement is enabled at the account level and player.social.qrcode.enable is not configured, the on-screen engagement bar with the QR code will be displayed, directing users to the Employee View post link. When player.social.qrcode.enable is set to “true,” the on-screen engagement bar with the QR code will be shown, and if set to “false,” the QR code will be hidden. In scenarios where on-screen engagement is disabled (and the property is set to true) at the account level and a post with a “Referral link” URL is published to devices but not to users (Employee View), the playlist channel will show only the Referral QR Code, without on-screen engagement features. When on-screen engagement is enabled (and the property is set to true) and the post is published to both devices and users, the playlist channel will include the QR code, comments, and reactions, directing users to the Employee View post link. Any changes to the player property will result in instant updates to the device playback.   Real-Time App Communication – Channel Updates In this release, a Start Timer is introduced to purge invalid cached content upon enabling Push Updates. When Push Updates is enabled, invalid cached content will be purged after a calculated delay based on the content download and cache purge cycles, defaulting to 60 seconds if not configured. Setting the purge cycle to zero will result in immediate purging. When Push Updates is disabled, invalid content is purged after a set number of successful sync cycles, defaulting to three cycles, but this can be adjusted to purge immediately after one cycle if desired.   RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-10864 – All device status are currently in “lost communication” and “out of sync”.    29 June 2024, SaturdayApp for Devices 2.72Release Platform: AllNEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description Impact/Outcome On-Screen Engagement – QR Codes and Reactions Introducing the On-Screen Engagement feature, designed to enhance interaction with digital signage and Employee Communications content.

Identification and Optimization for Cisco Webex Devices The application’s identification process for Cisco Webex devices has been improved to ensure optimal performance within Appspace.   When a device running RoomOS is identified as a generic Progressive Web App (PWA) due to an undefined Webex device type, such as a Webex Board, Room Kit, or Room Navigator, the system will now accurately recognize its RoomOS platform. Following this recognition, the optimizing WebexDriver will be installed to implement all relevant performance and stability enhancements.   Serial Number, IP Address, and MAC Address Information Upon Device Registration As part of the Device Status Webhooks initiative, we’ve improved the registration request payload to include the device’s IP Address, Serial Number, and MAC Address (if available). Channel ID in Content’s QR Link As part of the Content Playback Reports initiative, the content QR link has been improved by appending the Channel ID. This allows the Channel ID to be passed directly from the Content Feed Service to the Analytics event. Device Group ID, Device Tags, and Channel ID Information The Content Playback Analytics data now includes Device Group ID, Device Tags, and Channel ID information. This enhancement is part of the Content Playback Reports initiative. Storage Usage Information Enhancement The Device Analytics and Insights Enhancement initiative includes an upgraded device metrics API. This upgrade provides a more accurate understanding of your device fleet, provided devices are registered to an Appspace server running version 8.11.0-ac.1 or higher. Device metrics are automatically sent from your devices, except when in preview mode. This data transmits periodically, roughly every 12 hours, or more frequently if a significant change, like a 1% difference in storage usage, is detected. The device metrics service automatically starts when your device boots up, registers, or recovers from a network disruption. If an update fails to send, for example due to a temporary network issue, the system will retry sending the data. These retries use a waiting strategy, starting at 1 minute and gradually increasing up to a maximum of 30 minutes, to ensure your data is delivered reliably once connectivity is restored. The service automatically stops if the device is unregistered. FIXED BUGSAPC-7822 – BrightSign devices running BSFW 9.0.189 with Chromium 110 enabled fail to load iframes, causing both Advanced Signs in channel browsing mode and Broadcast with channel type to not load.

LED Room Status Indicators: Qbic devices connected via the PWA can now use their LED lights to visually show the current status of a room for example: available, busy. Deeper Device Insights: For easier monitoring and troubleshooting, detailed information about Qbic PWA devices can now be accessed, such as:IP address: MAC address Device Model Firmware version CPU usage Memory usage Available storage Simpler Device Setup & Recovery: The processes for registering a new device or recovering an existing one have been streamlined, enabling the direct use of the device’s serial number. Note With the release of version 2.84.0, Qbic PWA devices now feature built-in LED integration. This enhancement means that an external device task is no longer required for LED support on these devices, simplifying setup and management. Improvement: Neat Camera Zoom API for Visitor Management Neat cameras now feature new zoom and framing configurations, with the default zoom set to ‘mid.’ Automatic framing can be adjusted using the device.camera.framingmode device property, supporting modes such as maximum or medium centered zoom via ‘zoom‘ or ‘mid‘ values, a full wide view ‘wide‘, no automatic framing ‘off‘, and options to focus framing on groups ‘group‘ or individuals ‘individual‘. Improvement: SureVue App Firmware Version The SureVue Electron App now facilitates the retrieval of the device’s firmware version. This information is accurately displayed and accessible on the ‘Device Menu > Device Info’ page and within the Device Analytics Report. Improvement: Broadcast Alert Service Retry Enhanced Broadcast Service Reliability   An enhancement has been implemented to resolve an issue that prevented broadcast events from processing if the broadcast alert service encountered a transient error during its startup. This previously occurred during active broadcast retrieval, service restarts, or maintenance because the startup process lacked a retry mechanism and would reject the app on initial failure, requiring a restart for recovery. The new retry mechanism robustly handles these startup rejections, ensuring the broadcast alert service consistently starts and processes events, even after temporary disruptions, which significantly improves service reliability. FIXED BUGSAPC-7851 – The “Update Now” feature is delayed on devices in timezones behind UTC, as the update mechanism strictly follows UTC trigger times, leading devices to interpret the schedule based on local clocks and causing updates to occur later than expected. APC-7856 – Failed to cache the media in the signs media container. APC-7871 – An enhancement involves streamlining the workflow for sending the manifest to the platform or AUC service worker. APC-7878 – The iAdea device encounters a content download failure, resulting in it remaining at the sync progress stage without further advancement.RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-12375 – Implement a retry mechanism to start the broadcast alert service once the push notification client establishes a connection and passes the necessary configurations.    App for Devices 2.83 5 May 2025, MondayRelease Platform: PWA NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description PWA Cache Service: Streamline The Process Of Loading Service Worker For Cards New features streamline how the application loads its service worker for Announcement Cards. The service worker is now managed through the PWA Cache Service, improving performance and removing the dependency on npm. Key improvements include: The service worker now loads from the PWA Cache Service instead of npm. Only cards using the Appspace domain are eligible for caching. All card types are now cached through the service worker. Old content hosted on appspace.com will be purged. The PWA Cache Service loads correctly after registration and unregistration, even across different environments and accounts (when the read flag is enabled). The cache service also loads properly after a device is registered. PWA Cache Service: Invalidate Expired Cache for Cards (AUC Domain) To ensure a seamless and up-to-date experience with Announcement Cards, significant improvements have been implemented regarding cache handling and service worker behavior. These enhancements are designed to optimize performance and guarantee that you always see the latest information. Specifically: Upon switching to the AUC domain, the cache will be purged. Old content is cleared after it is removed. The existing service worker is reused after the read flag is on. The instance service worker will be purged after a card has been edited or removed. Push Health Status: Update Feature Flag Configuration Updated Feature Flag for PNS Health:   The feature flag controlling the Push Notification Service Health feature has been updated to feature.devices.pnsdevicestatus. This change reflects a refinement in how the health and status of devices within the PNS are managed and controlled.  FIXED BUGSAPC-7797 – The PWA app automatically updates card content in a channel whenever new content is added or removed. APC-7849 – The attempt to submit Android application version 2.82.0 to the Google Play Store was unsuccessful.

Content Fallback with Caching Support  The App now supports content fallback with caching via the content resolver, improving reliability when content delivery fails. This enhancement benefits devices using PWA, BrightSign, and Tizen, with added support for service worker caching, video content-range handling, and authorized domain configuration. Playout Metrics Reporting via V3 Analytics API A new feature flag (feature.devices.analytics.contentplayback) enables the App to post playback metrics using the V3 Analytics API for Multizone, Single Playlist, Advanced, and Autoplay channels – without additional configuration. Both legacy and new metrics submissions are supported concurrently.   Note Channel Browsing is not yet supported. Minimum Appspace version required: 8.10.0-ac.2 (tentative). Resilient Content Fallback During Registration Loss Improved fallback behavior now ensures the device registration code is overlaid on-screen when fallback content is shown during registration loss. This prevents users from being blocked by the fallback screen and allows re-registration. Devices with registration recovery enabled will restore previous configurations automatically. Visitor Management: Badge Printing Support for Neat and Android Devices Visitor badge and pass printing is now supported on Neat and Android devices, enabling a seamless check-in experience without requiring additional hardware. This enhancement allows facility managers to use their preferred non-iOS hardware with standard printer connections.  FIXED BUGSAPC-7781 – WebSocket disconnections caused instability in push notifications, affecting broadcast, device health, timestamp updates, and on-screen engagement.

Resilient Content Fallback: Support Streaming Content Fallback Content Fallback Configuration: This feature ensures continuous content display on your devices by allowing you to configure fallback media (images or videos) that will be displayed. We’ve introduced a new device property, device.fallbackcontent.configuration, to enable resilient content fallback mode. Administrators can use this device property to define fallback content (Media type, image/video content types) at both the device and location levels, and the device will directly stream fallback content from the Appspace server.   The fallback content will be displayed in specific scenarios: device unregistered state, content unavailability, channel initialization timeout, or version upsert timeout. The fallback content will not be displayed when the device is in preview mode.   The device will automatically return to regular content once the issue is resolved. The fallback content settings are automatically cleared when a device is intentionally unregistered.   Learn more: Configure Fallback Content for Appspace Devices Certificate Authority (CA) Certification Support in Android Improvement in platform compatibility now includes support for self-signed certificates on the following devices: Android, AndroidTV, Crestron, Logitech, IAdea (with HTTP support via local host API), and Neat (with HTTP support via local host API). iOS: Build XCode 16 with iOS 18 SDK Improvement has been made to ensure compliance with the App Store distribution submission requirements.  RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-10797 – The IADEA player is preventing the Appspace App from reading the local certificate, resulting in an IADEA Tablet registration issue.

This crucial step ensures seamless device identification and registration as we transition to the new platform. What’s New: MAC Address Capture: The SureVue Chrome App can now identify and capture the unique MAC address of your device. Secure Cloud Upload: For a smooth transition, this MAC address data is securely transmitted and stored in our cloud environment. Enabling Electron Migration: This preparatory step allows your device to be recognized and properly registered within the new Electron-based SureVue app, ensuring a consistent experience. Key Improvements: Streamlined Migration: By collecting and storing MAC addresses beforehand, we aim to make the upcoming Electron migration process as smooth and hassle-free as possible for you. Continuity of Service: This update ensures that your devices will be readily identifiable in the new application, minimizing any disruption to your workflow. SureVue Electron App: Device API Migration What’s New: This release includes the migration of the existing device API layer from the Chrome app architecture to the SureVue Electron framework. This foundational update ensures that all device-dependent functionalities are available and consistent in the new Electron application. SureVue Electron App: UDP Stream Support Now Available What’s New: The SureVue Electron app now supports the playback of UDP streams. This functionality, previously available in the Chrome app, has been implemented using the internal API http://localhost:7070/udphelper/<udpURL>/out.m3u8 for on-the-fly conversion to HLS. This ensures that users migrating from the Chrome app will maintain the ability to view UDP-based content.

This can be fixed by uploading a PNG image with transparency levels managed by the user from the source file.

Goals & Performance – content that showcases both long- and short-term goals and measurements of performance, to create shared ownership of company goals and drive employee performance.
