The anny Display App shows the occupancy status of your resources in real time, right where they are. Your team sees at a glance whether a room is free or in use, and can book directly on the display via touch, anny Pass, or NFC.
First activate the Display Boards & Room Displays feature under Account Settings → Features.

​
How does the Display App work?

The Display App runs as a standalone application on a tablet or smart TV and connects to your anny account via a 6-digit pairing code. After pairing, you choose which resources appear on the device (widgets) in the admin area under Displays. The display updates in real time: bookings, check-ins, and status changes are applied instantly. The basic flow:

​
When do I use this?

  • You want to equip meeting rooms with a door display: The Display App shows the current status and enables spontaneous bookings right on the spot.
  • You want your team to book a free room quickly without logging in: With guest mode or anny Pass, a booking takes just seconds.
  • You run phone booths or focus rooms that are used spontaneously: Short ad-hoc bookings (10, 20, 30 minutes) are offered directly on the display.
  • Not suitable for: Pure overview displays without an app installation (for example on a smart TV via browser). Use URL Display Boards for that.

​
How it connects with other features

  • Check-In & Check-Out: Activate check-in on the resource so bookings without a check-in expire automatically after a defined time and the room is released.
  • Communities: Community permissions also apply at the display. This lets you restrict access to certain rooms.
  • Maps & Interactive Floor Plans: Choose the map view as the default view to display resources visually on the display.

​
Settings & options

The ad-hoc buttons are calculated from the minimum duration, maximum duration, and booking interval of the first connected booking option. Recommendation for meeting rooms: min. 30 min, max. 8h, interval 15 min (which produces buttons: 15m, 30m, 45m).

​
Real-world examples

The team should see right at the door whether the room is free, and book in spontaneously via ad-hoc booking.
Members should book phone booths directly on the display via anny Pass, without logging in.

Troubleshooting

This can happen with recurring bookings when the series appointments have not yet been fully generated. Check in the admin calendar whether the bookings appear there correctly. If they do, restart the Display App to force synchronization.
The Display App controls brightness only within the configured active times. Also check your operating system’s power-saving settings (for example iOS Auto-Brightness or Android Adaptive Brightness) and disable them if needed.
The code is only valid for a limited time. Make sure you use the currently displayed code and that the tablet has an active internet connection. For anny.eu and on-prem: select the correct data host region in the app beforehand.
