Our cloud-based access solution, SALTO KS, has just released its latest series of improvements to the SALTO KS Web App. The Pod, Site, and Events pages will look a bit different, but they are guaranteed to impact your productivity and experience! Like previous updates to our platform, the new layouts provide a cleaner and more organized display of your actions and data.
If you haven’t read our recent update, we started a project to align our SALTO KS platforms regarding user experience, style, and consistency. Our first improvements were made to the People, Locks, and Access Groups pages. Now, in this blog post, we will show you what’s new in the Pod, Site, and Events sections of your Web App and all you need to know about the new look. Read ahead for a bird’s eye view of before and after!
Pods section of SALTO KS
The new Pods pages of your Web App follow a similar style and structure to the People, Locks, and Access Groups pages. The ‘Members’ table has a more straightforward layout and is better structured with information about Pod Members and Pod Guests. This table also contains a new ‘Tags’ column to view how many tags are used from the ones available.
The main actions are in the Actions Header on the top of the page, where you have the option to Edit Pod, Add New Members, and Delete. When you click ‘Edit Pod,’ you will find the option to ‘Clean’ the Pod.
Once you click on a Pod, the menu options for the page are now presented in the form of four tabs (or chips) that you can select: Members, Locks, Tags, and Time frame.
The Locks and Tags tabs have a similar overview to the Access Groups page. When you select locks in the Pod, they will be highlighted in red to show you are removing them, and when you select locks not in the Pod, they will be highlighted in green to show you are adding them. This process works in the same way for tags in the Tags tab. Once you have made your selections, you can click the ‘Save Changes’ blue button below, and you’re good to go.
SALTO KS page site
1. Site Overview Page
The Site Overview page has mostly had a makeover regarding its presentation of your Site’s significant information.
The changes for this page follow a similar structure to the previous page upgrades, including the following:
a.) A top navigation bar with two buttons: Edit Site and Transfer Ownership
b.) Cards containing all the essential information concerning the ‘Site details’ and ‘Site owner.’
c.) Mobile compatibility, with expandable cards that are easily readable on your mobile browser.
As you might have noticed, the ‘Transfer Ownership’ button has moved to the top navigation bar. Overall, this page has a cleaner look and feel, with the content sitting neatly on your screen.
2. Site Hardware Page
The Site Hardware page is the most significant upgrade in user experience. You will notice that this page has a visibly different layout than before, with a new and distinct hardware table.
Like before, your detached locks and repeaters will be presented in sections with a drop-down menu for actions to the side. The page has all the same information as the old design, with only a few changes, which include:
a.) The search bar for IQs has been moved to directly above the hardware table on the left.
b.) The rows of the hardware table have indicated headers that were not present before. These are ‘Device Name,’ ‘Type,’ and ‘Connected To’.
c.) The table has been improved with better alignment, and the IQ tree has more clarity and organization.
d.) The lock icons are more realistic, making deciphering the IQ tree and utilizing the action menu easier.
e.) The status and Mac number have been made immediately visible.
3. Lockers (GANTNER NET.Lock)
The Lockers page has a new name: 'NET.Lock' — i.e., lockers from GANTNER - a SALTO Group Company. This page has a cleaner layout and improved icons, similar to the Hardware page.
The locker mode and status are now grouped within the table's first ‘Name’ column.
4. Tags
In the Tags page table, you will notice that the Offline Access icon is now visible in the ‘Tag Number’ column, so you can see which tags have Offline Access enabled. When a tag is blocked, this icon is red, and when a tag is unblocked, the icon is blue.
In addition, a new column, ‘Pods,’ shows whether or not a tag belongs to a Pod.
Lastly, the Tags table has an actions menu on the far right of the row with 3 new actions: Disable Offline Access, Delete tag, and Block tag. You can Enable Offline Access or Unblock the tag depending on the status.
5. Rights, Installer Access, Floors, and Tag Reader
These pages are similar to the stylistic changes explained above. The most visible updates are the addition of a toggle switch button and that all main actions are in the Actions Header on the top of the page; for instance, in the Installer Access page, the ‘Revoke Access’ button is now in the header.
Events Events pages of SALTO KS
The Events pages include Entries and Incidents. These pages have an updated layout with the exact same content.
That concludes our overview of the latest pages updated in your SALTO KS Web App. We hope the changes improve your experience in the app and increase your efficiency and performance of operations.
Like with all our updates, we have kept you, our valued user, in mind and made all these mobile-compatible changes. With this, we come closer to our goal of aligning our platforms regarding user experience, style, and consistency.
