Cisco Spaces: Dashboard

Role-Based Access for Partner Organizations

The Cisco Spaces Dashboard now supports application role-based access for users from external partner organizations. Roles are created in Cisco Spaces, and the partner organization uses the role names in its identity provider (IdP). These apps support application role-based access.

• Open Roaming

• Captive Portal

• Engagements

• Personas

• IoT Explorer

• Space Manager

• Space Experience

• Space Utilization

• Asset Tracker

Note	The Role Edit option is disabled for external partner organization users in both User Management and Admin Management.

Theme

The Cisco Spaces Dashboard supports the Light, Dark, and System themes. The Light theme is applied by default when a user signs in for the first time. If the user selects another theme, Cisco Spaces retains the selection after sign-out and applies the previously selected theme when the user signs in again.

Cisco Spaces: Space Utilization

Space utilization reports now include an additional Sensor Category column that shows the sensor type associated with each space. This helps identify the type of sensor associated with each space, such as Webex, Portal Beam, PIR, or other supported sensor categories.

When PIR sensors are used, Peak People Count displays -1 instead of 0, because these sensors detect presence but do not provide people count data.

Cisco Spaces: Smart Workspaces

Signage 2.1 introduces new features, including desk availability, unified search, multi-floor wayfinding, and support for 34 languages.

Key interface include:

• Points of interest on the left.

• Occupancy and environmental information on the right.

• Room and desk availability at the top.

• Signage 2.1 now uses configured floor short names instead of full floor names throughout the interface.

Desk availability and booking

Signage 2.1 introduces a desk availability feature similar to the existing room availability feature. Users can switch between Rooms and Desks to view spaces that are available, booked, or occupied. They can also select a desk on the map to check its availability and details.

Users can book desks through ciscospaces.app, and the booking status is displayed on the signage.

Note	Desk availability is displayed only after desk booking is enabled and desks are configured under Space Manager > Manage Desks. Contact Cisco Spaces Support to enable desk booking.

Unified search

Room Finder is now integrated into Search, providing one place to find meeting rooms and desks across available floors. Improved fuzzy-search logic returns relevant results even when search terms are incomplete or do not exactly match a room or desk name.

Users can filter results by Rooms, Desks, or All Spaces. They can also start directions to a room or desk directly from the results.

Multi-floor wayfinding

Wayfinding now supports destinations on other floors, providing step-by-step directions through configured floor-transition points, such as elevators or stairs, and onward to the destination.

Language support

Signage 2.1 supports 34 languages. The initial language follows the browser locale when a supported match is available; otherwise, English (United States) is used. Users can change the language directly from the signage.

Cisco Spaces: Environmental Analytics

What is New in this Release

Environmental Analytics is enhanced to support digital maps. Live Map provides real-time environmental data from all locations in an interactive view, helping workplace and facilities teams compare conditions across buildings, floors, and workspaces.

Environmental Analytics opens to the Live Map by default. You can access the Overview screen using the left navigation to view existing analytics.

Key capabilities include:

• View TVOC, PM2.5, Indoor Air Quality, CO₂, Ambient Noise, Humidity, and Temperature readings directly on the map.

• View telemetry averages and distributions across locations, floors, rooms, and sensors to identify areas that need attention.

• Select a location to view its environmental telemetry on the corresponding digital map and switch between floors as needed.

• View historical data for the selected floor and telemetry.

Note	To display environmental data in Live Map, Digital Maps must be configured and Cisco Spaces must be receiving the required telemetry.

For configuration details, refer to Working with Cisco Spaces: Environmental Analytics App.
