Set up room tablets and display screens

Two kinds of devices extend Hamilton Meeting to the corridor: door tablets at each room for on-the-spot booking and check-in, and display screens showing several rooms' availability at a glance.

Configure room tablets

  1. Open Hamilton Meeting, click Administration, then "Room tablet configuration" in the Workstations section.

  2. The screen lists the tablet configurations with, for each: the URL to open on the tablet, the Site and the Room.

  3. Create one entry per room tablet: pick the site and room, and copy the generated URL.

  4. On the physical tablet, open that URL in the browser (or kiosk app): the tablet shows the room's schedule and lets people book, confirm or end meetings at the door.

PIN codes protect sensitive actions on shared devices; generate the residents' PIN codes from the residents management ("Generate PIN code" — see "Manage residents, companies, departments and services").

Configure display screens

  1. In the Workstations section, click "Screen configuration". The screen explains the recommended display resolution.

  2. Build a screen configuration:

    • Time settings: the Timer between slides (milliseconds) and the "next booking" horizon (minutes).

    • Scope: Site, Building, Floor, Room group — which rooms the screen displays; the Type selector switches between Rooms, Desks or both, and "Associated rooms" includes combinations.

    • Colors: header and body colors for the three states — Available, Occupied and Soon booked.

    • Display options: the main information shown per room.

  3. Click the generate action: "URL generated" confirms, and the URL is ready to copy ("URL copied") — "Invalid URL" flags a malformed import.

  4. Open the URL on the display device (TV browser, media player): the screen cycles through the selected rooms with live availability.

You can also import an existing configuration URL to edit it ("URL imported").

Good to know

  • Screens and tablets read live data: no restart needed after room changes.

  • Presence control (auto-release of no-show meetings) pairs well with door tablets — see "Configure access control and presence control".
