Processes and Guides for Getting Started
An overview of setting up and building out a Biamp Workplace system.
1. Creating an account
To use Biamp Workplace, you must create an online account. Go to https://workplace.biamp.app/ and follow the prompts to create a new account or sign in to an existing one.
- For more information please see Create a Workplace Account.
2. Creating an organization
After creating a Workplace account, you will be presented with options to create a new organization or to join an existing one. An organization is an abstraction representing a room and desk system of a business, business unit, facility, department, or other group that will be managed using Biamp Workplace.
- The person creating the organization is the initial system owner.
- You will be able to invite organization owners and administrators users to the organization as well as end-users after it is created.
- You can create multiple organizations using your account.
- You will need the Organization ID supplied by a system administrator to join an existing organization.
You can further customize the organization using the Settings menu after the organization is created using the Operations with Biamp Workplace procedures.
- For additional information on creating an organization please see the set up guides section below as well as Create an Organization
3. The setup guides
Biamp Workplace comes with two internal guides. These walk owners or admin-level users through the operations of setting up Evoko room and desk-booking systems in a newly created organization to the system. These guides can be found in the left-most pane on the Biamp Workplace's dashboard page.
These guides are single use, however, fresh guides will be available each time you set up a new organization.
