Connect colors and settings
The connect will display several colors that provide feedback about its status. Here we’ll explain what these colors represent and which actions should be taken when the incorrect color is being displayed. Most of the colors are displayed on the map-viewer and the app as well.
Connect colors
Below is a table that represents all colors that the Connect can emit. Each color reflects the current status and which action(s) can be taken.

Users are able to:
|
|
Reserved desk a) An orange light indicates that the desk has been reserved and the employee will need to check-in (this is managed in the profile). b) With the desk sensor connected and a desk that is available, if an employee occupies the desk for more than 30 seconds the connect will lit up orange. |
Users are able to:
