Overview
The Smart Room Attributes page in Innomesh enables users to view, edit, and create custom room attributes. Instead of manually checking each room to answer questions like how many displays are there or are the microphones active, users can define their own attributes. These smart attributes make it possible to gather and view such queries programmatically by sourcing information directly from room configurations.
Navigating To Smart Room Attributes
Smart room attributes profiles can be administered and created from the Adminstration page > Room Attributes > smart room attributes. Once this page is opened, a list of asset profiles will be presented.
