One important feature of LobbyConnect is to notify your employees when their guests check-in. This speeds up your guest's time in the lobby and makes them feel welcome in your space.
The host list is populated from the user list within Teem. This article will review methods for importing your user list into Teem.
Populating the Host User List
You can populate your user list in one of the following ways:
- Manually add the users at Manage >> Users >> User Directory.
- Import users and groups via Google or Office 365
- If you are already an Eventboard Enterprise customer, you can sync users and groups via SAML (as long as your provider supports provisioning), or by using Active Directory User Sync
Once you've successfully synced your user directory, all active users found in the Teem dashboard will appear on all LobbyConnect devices.
If a user is disabled or deleted from Google, O365, or AD, they will no longer appear in Teem or show up on LobbyConnect in the host search.
Managing your Host Lists
With your users synced to Teem, you can manage who is visible on the LobbyConnect device. You can do this using our Groups and Permissions and "White List" or "Black List" certain users. Review this article for more information.
A Note on Import Methods
A few legacy customers may still use an older method of managing LobbyConnect hosts directly from the device. If you are currently syncing your users locally from the iPad device, instructions can be found by clicking here. However, these methods are no longer supported and are deprecated if you use LobbyConnect V3.
If you have any questions, contact our Support team at [email protected].
