Introduction

Welcome to the KODE OS Launchpad! After reading this short user guide, you will be able to manage your users, products, and access for anything related to KODE OS. The Launchpad will enable you to ensure that all of your users can have a peace of mind while using KODE OS as all administrative features will be handled by assigned personnel or by the partner itself.

The Launchpad as an integral component of KODE OS has a seamless and a fast user experience. Any instance or user can be added, changed, or deactivated in a matter of seconds. In addition, for every channel instance the Launchpad is able to be integrated with MyMSI to give you an extensive overview of BAS and BMS implementation in all of your buildings, campuses, and portfolios.

Login and Authentication 

In order to login to your instance of the Launchpad, you need to access a link that will be provided to you by KODE Labs, Inc. or one of its channel partners. The link will be in the following format:

yourcompanyname.kodelabs.com

Upon accessing the link, you will be presented with a login screen where you will input your provided username and password. Upon providing the information successfully and selecting Login, you will be taken to the homepage view of the Launchpad.

If you belong to two or more organizations, you will be able to select the desired instance after the initial login. All of your instances will be accessible via the same username and password.

The Launchpad also offers the ability to add an additional layer of security during the login process via Two Factor Authentication (2FA). This can be set-up by navigating to the Manage Account option in the User Admin section. 2FA can be enabled via Text Messaging (SMS) or via a Third Party Authenticator.

Homepage

The homepage view is divided into three sections:

• The left-handed sidebar which allows you to navigate to Apps, Sites, Company, and back to the Homepage.

• The status section, where you can see various metrics such as the number of users, total integrated square footage, sites, and the available individual apps to which access can be given or revoked.

• User Admin section located in the upper right corner, where you can edit your user profile, manage your account, and safely log out.
