What's New in this Release

Cisco Spaces Dashboard

The following features are introduced in the Cisco Spaces dashboard:

To support Cisco Smart Workspaces, two new apps are added under the ACT license:

  • Space Manager: Use this app to configure various devices, sensors, and workspaces and to provide access to real-time occupancy data and environment telemetry (heat map, indoor air quality, temperature, humidity, and noise levels) rendered on rich maps for a specific building, floor, or meeting room. In the Devices section, you can view the configured devices and their telemetry details on rich maps. The Workspace Management section displays the configured meeting room or workspace and allows you to view, add, or remove devices and sensors to and from the selected workspace.

  • Space Experience: Use the Space Experience app to do the following:

    • Create and manage signage for Cisco Smart Workspaces

    • Onboard new signage for a Cisco Webex device or a non-Webex device.

    • Configure the telemetry parameters and publish the signage.

      The configuration updates are auto-notified to the corresponding signage devices.

What's Changed in this Release

The following enhancements are made in the Cisco Spaces dashboard:

Cisco Spaces License Package

The Cisco Spaces License package is enhanced to support the following three licenses, along with the existing licenses (SEE, EXTEND, and ACT).

  • SMART_OPERATIONS: This license works in the same way as the existing SEE license with some additional entitlements. The SMART_OPERATIONS license includes all the access privileges under the SEE license along with access to the following apps:

    • Operational Insights

    • IoT Explorer

  • SMART_VENUES: This license works in the same way as the existing SEE license with some additional entitlements. The SMART_VENUES license includes all the access privileges under the SEE license along with access to the following apps:

    • Captive Portal

    • Engagements

    • Profile Rules

  • SPACES UNLIMITED: Cisco Spaces accounts with UNLIMITED license include all the entitlements similar to an existing ACT license.

    For a Cisco Smart License-enabled account with UNLIMITED license package, the license count is based on the total square foot area of all the floor locations calculated based on the maps uploaded to the Cisco Spaces platform.


Note


Cisco Spaces users can now choose any of these licenses for a location using the Split License feature.

To support the Cisco Spaces License Package enhancement, the following GUI changes are made in the Cisco Spaces apps:
