Room Displays in Tactic help employees quickly see meeting room availability, view upcoming reservations, check in to meetings, and create on-the-spot bookings directly from outside the room.
With the new Tactic Station app, setting up Room Displays is faster and easier than before.
What are Room Displays?
Room Displays are tablets, typically mounted outside conference rooms, that sync directly with Tactic and your room calendars.
Room Displays provide:
- At-a-glance meeting room availability
- Daily room schedules
- Meeting check-in functionality
- Quick room booking directly from the display
- QR codes for mobile interactions
- Custom branding and background images
Before you begin
Before setting up a Room Display, make sure:
- You are signed into Tactic with an admin account
- Your meeting rooms are already configured in Tactic
- You have an iPad or Android tablet available
- The device can access the internet
Download the Tactic Station app
Room Displays now use the dedicated Tactic Station app instead of the standard Tactic mobile app.
On your iPad or tablet:
Step 1: Create a Room Display Station
In Tactic, navigate to:
Profile > Settings > Room Displays
From here, you can manage all existing Room Display devices and create new ones. Click Link New Device in the top-right corner.
Step 2: Select the meeting room
Choose:
- Building
- Floor (optional)
- Meeting room(s)
Then click Next.
Step 3: Configure branding (optional)
You can optionally customize the appearance of the Room Display by:
- Uploading a custom logo
- Uploading a background image
- Overriding default visuals
If you do not want custom branding, leave Override Default Visuals disabled.
Click Create Stations once finished.
Step 4: Link the tablet
After creating the station, Tactic will generate:
- A one-time linking code
- A QR code
On the tablet:
- Open the Tactic Station app
- Enter the code or scan the QR code
- The Room Display will automatically connect to the selected meeting room
Once linked, the Room Display will immediately begin showing:
- Current meeting room availability
- Upcoming meetings
- Room schedule timeline
- Booking options
Updating existing Room Displays
If you currently use the older Room Mode setup through the legacy Tactic mobile app, we recommend migrating to the new Tactic Station app for the best experience and latest functionality.
To migrate:
- Install the Tactic Station app on the tablet
- Navigate to:
Profile > Settings > Room Displays - Re-link the device using the new linking flow
Troubleshooting
If the Room Display does not connect successfully:
- Verify the tablet has internet access
- Confirm the linking code has not expired
- Make sure the correct meeting room was selected
- Try regenerating the linking code
You can also remove and relink a device at any time from the Room Displays page.
