This chapter provides an overview of the various WiFi Engage modules and their functions.
The WiFi Engage modules refer to those modules that are meant for enhancing the portals created using the WiFi Engage application. These modules are exclusively for the WiFi Engage portals. You can customize many features in the portal using the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio that is not possible through the WiFi Engage application. In addition, you can add Studio modules to the captive portal to enhance the portal.
To view a WiFi Engage portal in the same format in the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio, you must drag and drop all the modules that are added to the portal into the canvas.
This section provides the detailed description of the following WiFi Engage modules:
The WiFi Engage Branding module enables you to use the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio to enhance the branding in the portals created using WiFi Engage. You can position the WiFi Engage Branding module anywhere in a page based on your requirement. For brands in the text format, you can set the font properties of the text like font color, font size, and font family. You can also define where the brand text is to be positioned within the WiFi Engage Branding module. For brand images, you can specify the image height and position. In addition, you can add background color or background image and set the properties for the background.
Note This module is available only for Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio.
Note You can use this module only to enhance the portals created in the WiFi Engage dashboard.
To configure the WiFi Engage Branding module, perform the following steps:
Step 1 In the Modules panel, type WiFi Engage Branding. The WiFi Engage Branding module appears in the Modules panel.
Step 2 Drag and drop the WiFi Engage Branding module into the canvas. The Edit panel of the module opens.
Step 3 In the Edit panel of the module, specify the required values in the respective fields.
Note Ensure that you have configured the WiFi Engage Connector in the page as the first module and specified the name of the portal that you want to edit. You must specify the same portal name you have defined when creating the portal in the WiFi Engage dashboard. When you drag and drop the WiFi Engage Branding module on to the canvas, the branding added for that portal in the WiFi Engage dashboard appears.

These properties are applicable only if you uncheck the Custom Style Sheet check box in the WiFi Engage Connector. The following is the list of WiFi Engage Branding Touch Version properties..
The WiFi Engage Connector module enables you to enhance the portals created using the WiFi Engage dashboard through the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio. In the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio, you can view a portal in the same format in which it is created in the WiFi Engage dashboard. You can enhance the portals using the modules available in the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio. Using the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio, you can rearrange the modules of a page that are static in the WiFi Engage dashboard. For example, you can move the welcome message to the center of a page.
In a page, if any Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio module requires the WiFi Engage properties like SSID or experience zone to function, then you need to configure the WiFi Engage Connector module on that page. When a user connects to an experience zone, the WiFi Engage Connector enables the dependent module to access the WiFi Engage properties. For example, to use the Context Aware Container module, the WiFi Engage Connector must be there in the page as the first module to apply the SSID, WiFi Engage Experience Zone, and WiFi Engage location properties.
Note This module is available only for the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio.
Note You can use this module only for web sites.
To configure the WiFi Engage Connector module, perform the following steps:
Step 1 In the Modules panel, enter WiFi Engage Connector. The WiFi Engage Connector module appears in the Modules panel.
Step 2 Drag and drop the module into the canvas. The Edit panel of the module opens.
Step 3 In the Edit panel of the module, specify the required values in the respective fields.
Note Ensure that you configure the WiFi Engage Connector module as the first module in the page.
The Preview properties enable you to specify the details of the WiFi Engage portal that you want to modify using the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform studio.

The following is the list of WiFi Engage Connector Preview properties.
Note To view a WiFi Engage portal in the same format in the Enterprise Mobility Services Platform Studio, you must drag and drop all the modules that are added to the portal into the canvas.
User may get error messages while connecting to an SSID. The following are some of the scenarios for which you get error messages: if the access point which the user is accessing through is missing from the location, or if the SSID is activated without configuring an experience zone. The Advanced Section Properties enable you to define the e-mail address to which such error messages are to be reported. You can also define the subject for the error message e-mails.
