This will walk you through the steps to allow Ascentae Support access to your GoBright portal. This is used by Ascentae to commission your project, or for ad-hoc assistance with a support ticket regarding an existing portal. Please click on each section below to go through the steps.  1. Important Information If Ascentae is commissioning your portal, permissions must be provided by an administrator from the end-users side in order for us to access your portal. You'll provide us with a temporary login.  Full admin rights must be permitted. We'll cover this later.  It is your responsibility to grant AND revoke Ascentae access to your portal.  2. Your GoBright login Information Whoever signed the licensing agreement with GoBright will have received an email from sales@gobright.com with the initial admin login details. This includes: Email address Password Organisation code Ascentae doesn't see your login information, so it's important you follow the next steps. We will never ask for the original login information for your portal! Let's get going... 3. Granting Ascentae Access   Log into your GoBright portal here and navigate to the Admin Centre. See step 2 for your credentials. After you have logged into your GoBright account, head to the Admin Centre: On the top navigation, head to the users section. Proceed to add a new user. Please use the following information: Name: Ascentae Support Integration: None (do not integrate our account) Email address: support@ascentae.com Password: Manually enter a password or use the ‘Generate password' option and make a note of it Phone number, NFC and Default cost centre should be ignored All roles should be selected under the Meet-Work-Visit and View section We recommend using the generate password field, to create a random strong password. After you've done this, copy it to the clipboard: The final step on this page is the permissions (important), which is at the very bottom of the page. Please ensure step F above has been carried out. Scroll back up to the top of the page after confirming all of the above is correct and hit save. Looks like we're good to go. Let's move on to the next step. 4.

Digital signage can now be displayed using a web browser. The Web Player is on a view-only basis, so you can't make config changes on the screen itself. To use the web player you need to open the url link within the same server tenant. For example, on your Dashboard:However, when you switch to View:It will switch to:As you can see, it has switched from UK1B to UK1S, but you never leave your GoBright portal. In this instance, if you was to use UK1B the browser will alway show an activation code (valid for 12 months). However, when switching to UK1S the digital signage kicks in - as long as you have added the device on the GoBright portal.Ascentae has tested this on the following browsers:                  Browser                        Version     Test Result     Approved?Chrome148.0.7778.179 (64-bit)👍🏻   YesEdge148.0.3967.83 (64-bit)👍🏻   YesFireFox151.0.2 (64-bit)👍🏻   YesOpera132.0.5905.11 (64-bit)👍🏻   YesSafari*111.1 or higher(Tested by GoBright)   YesBrave1.90.124 (64-bit)👍🏻   YesWe tested the above in June 2026. *1 Apple officially discontinued the Safari web browser for Windows in 2012.Please ensure you are running the latest release of your browser.Lets Get StartedLogin to your GoBright portal at https://portal.gobright.cloudSelect the 4-square grid in the top-right and select 'View'Select the 'Devices' tab and look for the top level location.

Information correct as of the 16th of September 2024In September, GoBright introduced a new feature called 'Early Presence Confirmation'.For example, if you make a booking on a Monday for the upcoming Friday, your portal can now be configured to prompt the user up to 48 hours before the booking is due to confirm that they still need to use that space. Key Points:This feature is currently only available for desks and parking​This is not currently available for rooms​Maximum notification is 48 hours​ before the booking is due to startBookings are automatically canceled if no action is taken​ from the email / push notificationThis is disabled by default and must be switched on. Speak to our tech team or your account manager if you would like us to set this up for youSignificantly increases efficiency of resources for your business The ProcessYou will get an email during the predefined time.For example: If you select 'Yes, I will attend', you will be directed to the GoBright portal: If you select 'No, delete it' you will still be directed to the GoBright portal: Example of a push notification from the GoBright app:If you take no action (ignore the email / push notification), the booking will be automatically canceled and the person who made the booking will receive an email.This means that space will be freed up for someone else to book. This is particularly useful for people who have reoccurring bookings but might be off sick / on annual leave etc. Share This

You must have Integration configured on your portal in order to set this up.If you do not have integration, please speak to your account manager for pricing.In February 2025, GoBright expanded their integration options. Rooms can already be linked to a room resource email address in O365 - but now desks and parking can be configured in the same way too.Each desk / parking space needs to be linked to a resource email address in your O365 environment. For example:  Once the resources are configured, they need to be setup in GoBright.DesksOn the GoBright portal head to Settings > Work and select the relevant desk you need to update. You need to change 'no integration' to the relevant name of the Integration you have configured. ParkingThe same as the above applies for parking, but can be found under Settings > Park.Once Microsoft and GoBright have synced, you can book directly from Outlook.For example, you can book an office, desk and a parking space via Outlook at the same time:And this will update both your calendar and the calendar for the room(s).The update is pushed to the GoBright portal. For example:If you have Teams integration enabled, the link is automatically added to the invite for the calendar of the person booking the room and also the rooms resource itself. If you have any questions, please contact support@ascentae.com for assistance. 

In GoBright, you can already book a desk / parking space on behalf of a colleague. However, since July 2025, you can now do the same for rooms within the GoBright portal. This was previously  only available via Outlook. There is now an all-in-one solution within the GoBright portal.✔ Fully integrated within the portal✔ Free✔ Don't need to leave Teams or switch between apps (if you have the add-on)The StepsOn the main dashboard (Meet-Work-Visit), head to Settings > Users > Roles.Scroll down until you see Other booking-related permissions.By default, this setting is disabled, so enable it:Make sure you save the changes at the top of the page. If you have multiple roles, carry out the above for the relevant role(s).Using the 4 squares in the top right, head to the Admin Centre.The user(s) account(s) will need to have the above role enabled for their account. Select the user.Scoll down to Meet-Work-Visit and then Roles. On the drop-down, ensure the role(s) you updated above are selected for the relevant user(s). Now that the role(s) has been updated, we can book the room on behalf of a colleague. The example below shows that I booked a meeting room for my colleague Alex.This is then put in Alex's calendar with the above information. 

Enabling Map Viewer Hardware For Map Routing - On Site Installation Instructions1. Background In Q4 of 2025, GoBright launched a new routing feature for their mapping solution. This is for live directions to resources (rooms, desks, parking. lockers and spaces) on map viewers.2. TestingThe tech team at Ascentae have worked alongside the GoBright team and tested this extensively, and we're impressed with the functionality. This is a great addition to the GoBright platform.3. CommissioningIf you have purchased a commissioning package with us, we'll configure the portal remotely. However, there are some steps that on-site engineers will need to perform which cannot be carried out remotely. Please see sections 4 & 5.4. Important Info & Key PointsOnly V2 of the Map Viewer supports this functionality. If you're running V1, you'll need to switch.The Map Viewer must support WebView (enabled in developer mode).We'll guide you through this in the next section.5.
