Thing

The Thing feature allows users to connect their components (Kiosks and Print Delivery Station) to the internet, allowing them to control and monitor the devices associated. This feature allows for a more convenient and efficient way of controlling and monitoring components and devices, as well as the ability to automate certain tasks, such as Restart Thing Application.

Getting Started:

To access the Thing screen, the user simply needs to login to the ePRINTit SaaS and on the menu bar navigate to the Things/Thing area. This feature is managed by permissions and the user must be associated to a group that allows the user to access this option. To get more information about groups and how to associate it to a role type that has this permission, click here.
