🎄 UMA Christmas Release – UX Improvements & Kontakt.io Integration

Overview

Our Christmas release delivers a collection of meaningful UX improvements, admin enhancements, and a brand-new Kontakt.io integration, all designed to make UMA clearer, faster, and easier to manage day to day.

From better visibility of live data and bookings, to smoother admin workflows and smarter notifications, this release focuses on reducing friction and improving confidence across the platform.


✨ What’s New

🔌 Kontakt.io Portal Beam Integration

UMA now integrates with Kontakt.io Portal Beam sensors, enabling real-time people count and ESG data to flow directly into the platform.

What this unlocks:

  • Live occupancy data from Kontakt.io rooms and zones

  • Support for both room occupancy and footfall-based occupancy

  • Occupancy visibility across:

    • Analytics

    • Insights

    • Analytics Pro

    • Device info & device insights

    • My Floor (via resource hover)

This integration allows facilities and workplace teams to combine booking data and real-world usage, improving space planning and operational decisions.


📊 Live Indicator for Real-Time Insights

It’s now instantly clear when Insights data is live.

  • A subtle Live indicator appears in the sidebar and Insights header when real-time sensor data is active

  • The indicator persists across Insight tabs


🛎️ Desk Check-In Notifications

Never miss a desk check-in again.

  • A new notification bell appears in the top navigation

  • Desk bookings that require check-in surface automatically during the check-in window

  • One-click Check In directly from the notification panel

  • Badge counts update in real time

Designed to reduce missed check-ins and remove unnecessary navigation.


You can now add clickable links to:

  • Visitor invitations

  • Meeting descriptions

Perfect for sharing:

  • Directions or parking info

  • Meeting links (Teams, Zoom)

  • Documents or agendas

Links are secure, validated, and open safely in a new tab.


🧭 UX & Booking Improvements

📌 Instant Booking Visibility

After creating a booking on My Floor and clicking 'Show Booking', you will be taken directly to My Bookings, with your newly created booking clearly highlighted, making it easy to confirm everything worked as expected.


🗓️ Clearer Date Context on My Floor

The My Floor header now clearly shows whether you’re viewing:

  • Today

  • Tomorrow

  • Or a specific date

A small change that removes confusion when navigating days.


👤 Clearer “Book on Behalf Of” Context

When booking on behalf of another user, the booking drawer now clearly states: “New booking for <user>”, reinforcing who the booking is for and reducing mistakes.


🧑‍💼 Admin & Power-User Enhancements

🧾 Audit Logs for UMA Calendar

Channel Admins can now view a full audit trail of booking activity (built in calendar only).

  • See what happened, when, where, and by whom

  • Filter by organiser, date, location or status

  • Covers create, update, delete, and release actions

This brings much-needed transparency and traceability to calendar activity.


🏢 Manage Floors Directly from Building Settings

Admins can now create, edit, and delete floors directly from the Building Settings page.

  • No onboarding flow required

  • Clear confirmation when deleting floors

  • Resources are safely unassigned (not deleted)

  • Clean empty states and long-name handling

Managing buildings is now faster and more intuitive.


🧩 Multi-Select Resources for Neighbourhoods

When configuring neighbourhoods, admins can now:

  • Select multiple resources at once

  • See selected resources clearly

  • Work with alphabetically ordered lists

A big time-saver for larger buildings.


Managing NEAT devices is now easier with:

  • Serial number search (full or partial)

  • Case-insensitive matching

  • Combined search across name, type, resource, and serial number

Ideal for faster device identification during auto-scan imports.


📊 Meetings Overlay in Insights

Admins can now overlay meetings directly onto Insights charts.

  • Toggle “Show Meetings” when viewing a single day

  • Meetings appear as bars based on start/end time

  • Helps correlate bookings with sensor data

This bridges the gap between planned and actual usage.


🔑 Unassign Analytics Pro Licences

Admins can now unassign Analytics Pro licences from users and reassign them later, giving more flexibility in licence management.


🔐 Forgot Password for Local Authentication

Users who sign in with local authentication can now securely reset their password directly from the login page.


🎁 Wrapping Up

This Christmas release focuses on clarity, confidence, and control, from live data visibility and notifications, to smoother admin workflows and deeper sensor integration.

As always, thank you for your feedback throughout the year, it continues to shape how UMA evolves.
