Step-by-step instructions to launch a temporary event for your location and let your guests connect with a special authentication for a given time
Use case:
Showroom, client meeting, product launch…
Your company may need to offer the guest Wi-Fi for more people than usual and for a specific period.
The Cloudi-Fi solution allows companies to manage their special events from their admin account.
Prerequisites:
Your captive portal need to support Event creation. If it is not the case, I invite you to contact your Cloudi-fi Support to update your captive portal.
Step 1: Create your Event
- Open the Cloudi-Fi dashboard and go to Portals > Events.
- Select "New event"
Here you can set
- Name of the event that will also appear in the event section of your portal,
- Passcode to secure your event so that only guests who know the code can log in
- Start and End dates for your event (only events that match the current date are displayed on the portal to the guests)
- Perimeter of your event i.e. locations where you want to plan your Event. You can match your event with a group of locations, locations that have a certain scope, or individual locations if your event is only for some of them.
- Subscribers that will be notified during any update of this event.
Location without Event activated
Location with an Event activated: After selecting the event option, the guest is prompted for an email and the passcode if there is one.
