Before using MOOV, we pre-create all standard locations for your school, including classrooms and shared spaces such as the Main Office, Nurse, Cafeteria, and Entry.

If any rooms or spaces are missing, you can manually add them from the Dashboard (Admin or Super Admin access only).


How to Create a Room

  • Navigate to the "Dashboard."

  • Click "Rooms."

  • In the upper-left corner, select "Add Room."

  • Enter the room name or number and select a room type

    • Example: Room Name: 100, Room Type: Classroom

  • Once created, the room will appear in your room list.


Room Actions

After creating a room, you will see four available options:

  • Close Room
    Temporarily close a room (for example, during construction or maintenance).

  • Who’s Here
    View all current occupants in the room in real time.

  • View Kiosk
    Open the kiosk view to see:

    • All taps into the room

    • Entry times

    • Whether occupants are marked green (authorized) or red (unauthorized)

  • Change Settings
    Customize room details and behavior (details below).


Room Settings Explained

Room Nickname

You can assign a nickname to a room for easier identification. For example, if Ms. Shim is always in Room 101, you can rename it to "Ms. Shim’s Room." Passes can then be written to and from "Ms. Shim’s Room" instead of "Room 101."

Change Room Type

Click the room type to open a dropdown menu and select a new room type if needed.

Add to Group

Group rooms together for easier organization and reporting. You can also create groups to assign specific bathrooms to room groups.
Examples include:

  • 100s Wing

  • 200s Wing

  • Offices

Rooms can be added to or removed from groups at any time.

Room Admins

Assign an admin to a room to permanently associate them with that space. When a room admin writes a pass, it will automatically default to or from their assigned room.

Delete Room

Click "Delete" in the upper-left corner to permanently remove a room.

Warning: Deleting a room cannot be undone. Use caution.

Magic Readers

At the bottom of the room settings page, you can assign or remove Magic Readers:

  • Click "Add" to see available readers (listed by M number/ID on the back of the Magic Reader).

  • Assign or remove readers as needed.


MOOV Hack: Using Rooms for Events & Data Tracking

Did you know that rooms can also be used creatively to track attendance, engagement, or interest for school activities?

For example:

  • Create a room called “Event 1/1” for a school assembly or after-school event.

  • Have students tap into that room upon arrival.

  • Later, filter the "Taps Report" by that room to view attendance data.

Schools have used this approach for:

  • After-school events

  • Sports interest sign-ups

  • Assemblies or special programs

If there’s a situation where you want to gather student data through taps, or any situation where you're gathering student information or names via a form or pencil and paper, creating a custom room is always an option!
