You need to set up NexIO before you can use it in your space. The setup only takes a few minutes and only needs to be done once.
What You Need to Set up NexIO
Tablet Requirements
You need at least one tablet meeting the requirements detailed below to use NexIO. You can choose to set up several tablets with NexIO if you want to allow check-in/out in multiple areas of your space.
Screen size
Tablet screens must be over 7 inches. We recommend displays between 9 and 12 inches for optimal display and ease of use.
Wi-Fi
Tablets must connect to Wi-Fi to download and use the app.
Bluetooth
Tablets must support Bluetooth 4.0 (also known as BLE) or above.
Access to the Apple Store or Google Play
Tablets must have access to the Apple Store (iPad) or Google Play (Android tablets) to download the app.

Android tablets
To find the minimum Android version required to use the app, find the app on Google Play and click on the arrow icon next to About this app.
An admin account dedicated to NexIO
We recommend you create an admin account for NexIO. We recommend a dedicated admin account for the app because your displays is automatically disconnected every time the admin account used to set up the app requests a password reset.
Having a dedicated admin account helps keep your tablets up and running and helps you avoid repeating the setup process.
You can create a full unrestricted admin or a restricted user with a role that includes the following permissions:
- AccessToken - All
- Business- List, Read
- Checkin - All
- Coworker - List, Read
- RefreshToken- All
- Resource - All
- User - List, Read, Create
For more information, check out User Roles for Apps.
