Dashboard

Smart License Integration: Cisco Smart License is a flexible licensing model that streamlines the way you activate and manage software. The solution allows you to easily track the status of your license and software usage trends. To enable Cisco Smart License in Cisco Spaces, you must have a smart account that is configured with Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM). In the Cisco Spaces dashboard, choose Profile Icon > Activate Smart License to activate Cisco Smart License.

• License Upgrade/Downgrade: After you activate your Cisco Smart License, you can upgrade or downgrade the Cisco Spaces license. To do this, choose Profile Icon > License info > Select License Level.

• Trial Support: After Cisco Smart License activation, you can contact the Cisco Spaces support team to enable trial support. If trial mode is enabled, the smart agent will not update license usage to CSSM.

For more information, see Cisco Smart License.

Behavior Metrics

Workspaces Vertical: Campus-level computation is implemented for the Workspaces vertical. Earlier, network nodes in the location hierarchy were used to derive metrics. To improve the quality of the data reported for the Workspaces vertical, campus nodes are used to track visits and derive insights. In most real-time deployments for enterprises and universities, people move between multiple buildings that are close by within a campus. This behavior of people moving between networks is the motivation behind moving to campus node as the single contiguous space to track visits and derive insights.

• If you select a campus node from the Location option, campus average is displayed for the following charts: Workday Duration, Employee Frequency, Density Index, Entry Time and Exit Time charts.

• New floor and zone level charts are added. Select a network location to see the following charts:

  • Presence by Floor/Zone

  • % Share by Floor/Zone

  • Density by Floor/Zone

  • Visit Duration by Floor/Zone

  Note	By default, the campus and group location data are displayed at the root-level view. Network location data is displayed when no campus location is defined in the location hierarchy.

Education Vertical: Support for a new vertical called Education is added in the Behavior Metrics app. All the key charts reflect information based on student metrics. The Education vertical chart resembles all the metrics similar to the Workspaces vertical.

Cisco Spaces SDK

The Cisco Spaces Software Development Kit (SDK) leverages OpenRoaming technology to attach users, seamlessly and securely, to Wi-Fi networks, without the need for user interaction. The Cisco Spaces SDK allows an iOS or Android application developer to configure iOS and Android devices with an identity of choice that can be verified with the back-end system. The Cisco Spaces SDK also allows the developer to add more information about the users, and engage with them, directly on their device, through the iOS and Android notification framework.

The SDK configuration section is accessible through Hamburger menu icon > Integrations > Cisco Spaces SDK. This allows the customers to register their native app (iOS and/or Android) with Cisco Spaces.

For more information, see Cisco Spaces SDK Integration.
