Add, Edit, Move, or Delete EventBoard Devices

Prerequisites

---

Before a new EventBoard device is added, make the following items are addressed:

• Location Hierarchy -  The company's Teem account must have its location structure built out to match The organization’s physical space. Also, it is important to understand the Teem space hierarchy and override settings. Space hierarchy is the space structure for the entire organization that defines where EventBoard devices live. Teem’s Space Hierarchy’s various levels in order are: 
  • Organization
  • Campus
  • Building
  • Floor
  • Space

Locations inherit settings from the level above. However, an override of this setting is available at any level. Those exceptions or overrides will apply to all levels below the location where the override was made. Learn more about space hierarchy and override setting.

• Device - Make sure your device is a support device that will run EventBoard, see the Teem Compatibility Matrix.
• Download and Launch the EventBoard App - On your device, download and launch the EventBoard app. When the app runs for the first time, the app will display an activation code on the web page which is used to set up the device in the steps below.
