Minimum Requirements

As of the most recent release, Serraview (Basics, Pro, and Elite), Engage, Engage Reservations, Locator, and Insights will require the minimum requirements. Your Corporate Real Estate team and any space coordinators in the wider business will need:

AutoCAD File Formats

Drawings must be provided in AutoCAD 2013 format (used in AutoCAD 2013 – AutoCAD 2017) or AutoCAD 2018 format (used in AutoCAD 2018 – AutoCAD 2019). 

Serraview exports the file to AutoCAD 2018 format (used in AutoCAD 2018 – AutoCAD 2019).

Calendar Connector

• Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, or later. 
• Microsoft Exchange Online/Office 365 via the Exchange Web Server (EWS)
• Google Calendar via the Google Calendar API v3

Engage Mobile App

Engage requires Serraview 3.0. 

Mobile Devices

The Engage app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and it is currently supported on the following mobile devices:

• Apple iOS 13.x and newer
• Android 9.x and newer

Tablet Devices

Customers can run Engage Web on iOS, Android, and Surface tablet devices through their Web Browser, and all touch controls, such as zoom, pan, and rotate are supported.

The Engage App for the current iOS and Android tablet versions is not supported.

Engage Kiosks

If you are running the Engage Kiosk software, you will need Kiosk hardware that supports our software minimum requirements (above) plus:

• Touch screen in full screen mode.

• Landscape mode and 100% Zoom Level.

• Windows 7 PC or higher.

• Wired connection is recommended to avoid connectivity issues that are common over wireless networks.

Network

For the best results, we recommend a wired connection. Wireless connections have proved in the past to be far less reliable and Kiosks are often in locations with poor signal coverage.

Power Settings

We recommend that you make the following adjustments to the system power settings:

• Disable screen timeout/screensaver during normal office hours. This way the Kiosk always displays as functional and available.

• Disable sleep/hibernate functions as the kiosk usually cannot be woken up without a physical keyboard.

Screen Mounting

If wall mounting your touchscreen kiosk, consider that users will need to be able to reach the top elements on the screen to navigate around. Screens are to be used in landscape orientation.

Location and Number of Kiosks

Kiosks are recommended to be installed at common entry points to your building or floor, such as elevator lobbies, foyers. Typically one device per entry point is likely to be sufficient but this may depend on your building layout and the number of staff using the device.

If you are using a kiosk in a public space, we recommend you enable the the "Hide People Data" setting which hides the names of all people, teams, and details of who has made bookings in a space.

Mouse and Keyboard Support

The Kiosk software is designed to be used via a touchscreen. As such, when in Kiosk mode, the mouse will be disabled, and an on-screen keyboard will be displayed automatically when needed.

Engage Kiosk can also be run in normal PC mode (with a mouse and keyboard) if necessary.

Serraview Locator Kiosks

If you are running the Serraview Locator Kiosk software, you will need Kiosk hardware that supports our software minimum requirements (above) plus:

• Touch screen.
• Landscape mode and 100% Zoom Level.
• Windows 7 PC or higher.
• Wired connection is recommended to avoid connectivity issues that are common over wireless networks.
• Public IP Address that will be white listed to authenticate the kiosk.

Serraview Live (SVLive)
