Wayfinder profiles and settings

Setting up the Condeco Wayfinder
The information displayed on the Wayfinder is defined by the criteria set in a profile. The profile defines the information to show - meeting space availability and booking details or just the meeting details of booked spaces. The Wayfinder display is customizable so you can choose what information to display and the column order, and how many rows to display on each page before showing the next page or toggling to a website of your choice.
After the profile is created, you can set the direction of the meeting spaces from the Wayfinder, to help direct guests to the spaces.
Two views are possible as shown in the images below. Both views can show the check-in status and details of the next bookings.
