  2. Update the Company Name and Admin Contact Email, if necessary.
  3. To download a QR code that you can send to users so they can install the Turf mobile web app on their mobile devices, select Download under the QR code on the screen. This creates a .png file that you can attach to an email or other type of message for your users.

Integrations

To integrate your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace with Turf, select Link next to your preferred integration, log in to your account, and follow the instructions on the screen.

Settings window - Integrations section

Custom Styling

Under Custom Styling, you can customize your Turf displays to include your company's logo and create a color scheme that is in line with your company's branding.

Settings window - Custom Styling window

  1. If you want to include your own company logo on the display, select Choose File under Logo, then browse for the image file you want to use. The file size for logo images should be less than 2MB.
  2. If you would like to include a background image, select Choose File under Background Image and browse for the image file you want to use. Background image files should be less than 2MB.

    Skykit recommends an image size of 1280 x 800 pixels for landscape orientation and 800 x 1200 pixels for portrait orientation.
  3. To change the primary color, background color, or font color of the display, click in the relevant color field. You can either use the color picker or enter the hex code for your preferred color.

    If you prefer to use the default Skykit Turf color scheme, select Apply Default Theme.

Space Booking Settings

Settings window - Space Booking Settings section

  1. To allow users to book a space directly from the display, select Enable under On-Demand Booking.
  2. To require employees to select their name when they book a space, check Additional Required Information.
  3. To allow spaces to become available again if they are booked but haven't been checked into, select Enable under Space Reclaim. When Space Reclaim is enabled, users can check in to a meeting from the display.
    Note: The check-in/space reclaim option is only available for spaces that are integrated with Google workspace calendars, not Microsoft 365 calendars. 
  4. From the Space reclaim timer drop-down list, select the amount of time (5, 10, or 15 minutes) users have to check in to a meeting before the space is reclaimed. If you select 10 minutes, for example, the space will be reclaimed if no one checks in to the meeting within 10 minutes of the start time.

Desk Booking Settings

To enable users to book a desk directly from a display, select Enable under Enable desk booking.
