About screen settings profiles

Create screen settings profiles to manage the behavior of screens linked to the profile. You can set the days of the week and time of day the screens are active; when users must authenticate; the time format; supported RFID card types; booking policy; privacy settings; etc.

Max no. screens per profile: A maximum of 1,000 meeting room screens should be added to each screen settings profile to maintain efficient page load times when opening a profile and saving changes. There is no limit to the number of profiles that can be created.
