Creating a Space CE Template

This guide walks through the process of creating a new Space CE template in Innomesh Room Manager.

Step 1: Navigate to the Templates Page

Click the Templates button in the top-right corner of the Innomesh interface to open the Templates page.

Step 2: Add a New Template

Click the Add New Template button. A popup window will appear prompting you to select a product type. Choose SpaceCE and proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Configure the Template

A blank template window will open with a list of configuration sections on the left-hand side. Select each section and enter the required attributes and values.

The core configuration sections common to all Space CE templates are:

  • Properties: Template name, description, version, type, and portability settings.
  • Devices: Hardware definitions for IP devices and gateway devices.
  • Macros: Custom event-triggered and time-triggered automation scripts.
  • Room Options: Defines which configuration items are editable at the room level.

Additional sections may be available depending on the software package deployed to your tenancy.

💡 Tip
Help text is available for each field to guide you through completing them. Hover over a field to see its description.

Step 4: Configure Room Options

The Room Options section allows you to select the configuration options that you would like to manage at the room level. Only the items selected here will be visible to users when they deploy or edit rooms based on this template.

This is particularly useful for enforcing organisational standards when external contractors are deploying rooms. By controlling what is visible, administrators can ensure critical settings remain unchanged.

Step 5: Create the Template

Once all sections have been configured, click the Create button to finalise and save the template.

Options Menu

After the template has been created, a dropdown Options menu becomes available in the top-right corner of the template editor. This menu provides the following utilities:

  • Download as JSON: Export the template configuration as a .json file for backup or sharing.
  • Copy Device IDs: Copy device identifiers to the clipboard.
  • Set Available Devices: Restrict which device types can be used in rooms based on this template.
  • Push Updates to Rooms: Distribute configuration changes to all rooms using this template.
  • Update XPanel Settings: Modify XPanel user interface settings for the template.
  • Update VNC Settings: Modify VNC user interface availability for the template.
  • Update Information Template: Edit or update the information template displayed on touch panels.
  • Load Template from File: Import a template configuration from a previously exported .json file.
  • Third Party Template: Upload Node.js packages for third-party integrations.
  • Duplicate Template: Create a copy of the template with all its settings.
  • Delete Template: Permanently remove the template.
