Adding your rooms to Sync

This article will cover how to set up rooms in Sync so that you can then use them with Logitech Room Booking.

Rooms are used inside of Sync to manage devices, gain insights, and allow your users to book them using Google or O365 calendars. To start, we will need to add rooms to Sync so that we can then plot them on maps and allow users to book them using Logitech Room Booking.

Prerequisites

You will need to ensure you have created a Sync account (see for details on this process) and that you have the appropriate licenses or trial enabled.

To add or manage rooms you will need to be logged in as a Sync admin or owner on the account.

Add a room

Note: If you already have rooms that you would like to assign hardware to you do not need to create additional rooms and can skip this step.

1. Open the following link: https://sync.logitech.com/login and enter your admin email and password to log in.

2. Go to MEETING ROOMS.

3. Click on Inventory.

4. Then click on the “Add room” option located in the top right of the Sync portal

5. You will then be presented with 3 options, if you are starting from scratch, select the “Empty room” option.

6. After selecting “Empty room” you will have the option to create multiple rooms at once or create a single room, and add a seat count for the room.

7. After creating the rooms, you'll see them listed under the "Unassigned" group on the left side of your Sync portal. To assign them to the correct group, select the "Unassigned" group and find your room. You can move it to the appropriate group by either clicking and dragging or by selecting the checkbox next to the room name. After selecting, click "Move to Group" at the top and choose a group from the pop-up window.

8. Now that you have created rooms and added them to the appropriate groups you are ready to move to the next step and provision your devices.

Add a room using the integrated calendar resources

If you haven't already set up rooms in Sync for Logitech Room Booking, consider this method to expedite the room creation process. After importing a calendar service, you'll be able to automatically create a room resource for each imported calendar resource.

1. After you have imported your calendar service account and the calendar resources associated as well, simply go to Settings>Calendars>Resources. From here you can select the calendar resources you wish to create a room for using the check box next to each room.

2. Once you have selected the rooms you can then click “Create rooms” and Sync will create and link a room to each calendar resource you have selected.

3. You can now go to Meeting Rooms > Inventory and see your newly created rooms.
