Set up admin access

You must be a full unrestricted admin to set up NexBoard.

We recommend sticking to full unrestricted admins, but you can create a NexBoard user role and assign it to a restricted admin if you space's policies require it.

Download NexBoard

You can download NexBoard from Google Play and the App Store.

Step 2. Connecting Resources to NexBoard

You can set up your tablet with NexBoard so customers can only book a single unit or choose from multiple units.

Connecting NexBoard to a Single Unit

You can easily set up NexBoard so customers can only book a single unit from each tablet.

For example, you want to place a NexBoard tablet outside each phone booth in your space.

Allow all access requests from NexBoard when setting up the app.

If you skip location or bluetooth access, you'll need to enable them from your tablet's app settings to let your customers make the most of the app.

  1. Open NexBoard.
  2. Log in using your admin credentials.
  3. Select your location.
  4. Select the resource you want to link to this tablet.
  5. Select the unit you want to link to this tablet.

You're all set! Customers can use the app straight away to book this resource or check its availability.

You can repeat the process on any other tablet using the same admin account to connect more resources.

Connecting NexBoard to Multiple Units

You can easily set up NexBoard so customers can book several units from a single tablet.

For example, you want customers to be able to book any hot desk from NexBoard without buying a separate tablet for each one.

All floor plan units must be connected to the same resource.
