You don't need any specific details to set up this tile. ## Check customer out Scanning the tile checks the customer out if they were already checked in. You don't need any specific details to set up this tile. ## Check in at booking Scanning the tile checks the customer in to their booking for the defined resource. You need to add the relevant resource's ID to the **{{variable.Nexudus}} Resource** field when setting up the tile. {{variable.MoreInformation}} [Finding Resource IDs](/v3/docs/finding-resource-ids){target="_blank"}. ## Check in at event Scanning the tile checks the customer in to the relevant event. You don't need any specific details to set up this tile. ## Extend current booking(s) Scanning this tile extends the customer's current booking by the number of minutes defined in the tile. ## Make HTTP request Scanning the tile triggers a request from the {{variable.Nexudus}} servers to a URL. This URL isn't visible to the user. The data available as part of the **POST** requests contains the name of the tile as well as the details of the customer who scanned the tile. You can sign these requests using a shared secret. ## Mark resource as cleaned Scanning the tile marks the resource as cleaned in [NexBoard](/v3/docs/nexboard-settings){target="_blank"} if you enabled the toggle to show the last time the resource was cleaned. You need to add the relevant resource's ID to the **{{variable.Nexudus}} Resource** field when setting up the tile. {{variable.MoreInformation}} [Finding Resource IDs](/v3/docs/finding-resource-ids){target="_blank"}. ## None Scanning the tile doesn't trigger any type of action in {{variable.Nexudus}} and displays an error message to the user. Use this action to quickly [disable a tile](/v3/docs/disabling-automation-tiles){target="_blank"} that was stolen or that you no longer use but don't want to delete yet. ## Place or terminate a booking Scanning the tile for the first time starts a booking for the user. Scanning the tile a second time with the same user ends the booking. You link each tile to a resource and define a default booking length for bookings started using the tile. You need to add the relevant resource's ID to the **{{variable.Nexudus}} Resource ID** field when setting up the tile. {{variable.MoreInformation}} [Finding Resource IDs](/v3/docs/finding-resource-ids){target="_blank"}. You then need to add a vertical line symbol **|** followed by the default booking length you want to apply. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/4f9a66c7-3dbb-4052-97d8-5439302e1512/Images/Documentation/image%28737%29.png){height="" width=""} :::(Info) (Resource bookings default to 60 minutes if you don't define a booking duration.) ::: :::(warning) (If the resource has shifts defined, the tile books the resource using the first valid shift found based on the current time.) *For example, if a resource can booked from 9a.m to 1p.m, 1p.m to 5p.m or 9a.m to 5p.m and the tile is scanned at 9:05am, {{variable.Nexudus}} will book the resource from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. as that is the first shift in the list based on the current time.* ::: ## Place or terminate a desk booking Scanning the tile for the first time starts a desk booking for the user. If the same user scans the tile a second time, the desk booking ends. You need to add the relevant desk's ID in the **{{variable.Nexudus}} Desk ID** field when setting up the tile. {{variable.MoreInformation}} [Finding Floor Plan Item IDs](/v3/docs/finding-floor-plan-item-ids){target="_blank"}. You then need to add a vertical line symbol **|** followed by the default booking length (in minutes) you want to implement. :::(Info) (Desk bookings default to 8 hours (or 480 minutes) if you don't define a booking duration.) ::: ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/4f9a66c7-3dbb-4052-97d8-5439302e1512/Images/Documentation/image%28737%29.png){height="" width=""} :::(warning) (If the resource has shifts defined, the tile books the resource using the first valid shift.) *For example, if a resource can booked from 9{{variable.AM}} to 1{{variable.PM}} or 1{{variable.PM}} to 5{{variable.PM}} and the tile is scanned at 9:05{{variable.AM}}, {{variable.Nexudus}} will book the resource from 9a.m to 1p.m as that is the first shift in the list based on the current time.* ::: ## Redirect user to URL Scanning the tile sends the user to the URL defined in the tile. Customers are always asked to log in before accessing the URL. ## Show new booking form Scanning the tile takes the customer to the booking form for the relevant resource. You need to add the relevant resource's ID to the **{{variable.Nexudus}} Resource ID** field when setting up the tile. {{variable.MoreInformation}} [Finding Resource IDs](/v3/docs/finding-resource-ids){target="_blank"}. You then need to add a vertical line symbol **|** followed by the default booking length you want to apply. :::(Info) (Want to automatically select a specific unit when customers scan the tile?) Just add the unit ID between the resource ID and default booking length. *For example 235205541|1085642398|60* ::: ## Unlock {{variable.ACT}} door Scanning the tile unlocks the selected door controlled by {{variable.ACT}}. You need to copy the relevant door ID that can be found in your {{variable.ACT}} account and paste it to the **Access Control Lock/Door Unique Id** field when setting up the tile. :::(Error) (Do not use automation tiles to control access to **critical areas of your space** such as the **building entrances** or **rooms with valuable equipment**.) QR codes and NFC chips can be spoofed, meaning they can be cloned and reprinted by potential intruders to replace existing tiles with a tile connected to a different door. Simply put, users scanning the replaced tile would unknowingly open a different door, granting intruders access to the door. Automation tiles are an easy, inexpensive, and relatively secure way to control access to areas such as meeting rooms or break rooms in your space. Make sure you always [geofence your tiles](/v3/docs/geo-fencing-automation-tiles){target="_blank"} as tightly as possible to mitigate risks. ::: ## Unlock {{variable.Doordeck}} door Scanning the tile unlocks the selected door controlled by {{variable.Doordeck}}. You need to copy the relevant door ID that can be found in your {{variable.Doordeck}} account and paste it to the **Access Control Lock/Door Unique Id** field when setting up the tile. :::(Error) (Do not use automation tiles to control access to **critical areas of your space** such as the **building entrances** or **rooms with valuable equipment**.)

You need to copy the relevant door ID that can be found in your {{variable.Kisi}} account and paste it to the **Access Control Lock/Door Unique Id** field when setting up the tile. :::(Error) (Do not use automation tiles to control access to **critical areas of your space** such as the **building entrances** or **rooms with valuable equipment**.)

Scanning the tile a second time will open the same locker in the locker bank. You need to copy your **locker bank ID** that can be found in your {{variable.SmartaLock}} account to set up the tile. You also need to [enable the {{variable.SmartaLock}}](/v3/docs/integrating-smartalock){target="_blank"} integration before setting up your tile.
