# Multi-Tenant

## Run one shared reception point for a building used by several organisations, with each tenant on the same kiosk.

Multi-tenant reception lets one reception desk welcome visitors for every organisation in a shared building. Visitors choose the organisation they are visiting on the kiosk, and each tenant keeps its own hosts and settings.

### **How it works**

1. **Create a reception group** for the building's shared lobby.
2. **Invite the tenants:**  The other organisations that share the lobby.
3. **Assign tablets** to the group, so those kiosks serve every tenant.
4. **Tenants accept:** Each organisation appears on the kiosk only once it accepts your invitation.

The organisation that creates the group is the host. Setting up a shared reception is admin-only. A tenant who joins sees only its own membership and overrides, not the host's full setup.

### **How to open it**

1. Go to **Settings \> ArrivalsHQ**.
2. In the left-hand menu, under **Admin**, select **Multi-tenant**.

Select **Refresh** at any time to see the latest invitation and tenant status.

### **What you see on the page**

**Your organisation:** A summary of your own organisation as it appears at reception: its name and status (for example, **Active**), its logo or initial, its accent colour, the number of hosts and the kiosks it uses.

**Reception invitations**: Invitations from other organisations asking you to appear at *their* shared reception. If there are none, the panel says "No invitations right now".

**Reception groups:**  The shared receptions you host. For each group, the table shows:

| **Column** | **What it shows** |
| --- | --- |
| Group | The group name and the building (site) it fronts |
| Tenants | How many organisations are in the group, and how many are active |
| Tablets | The tablets serving the group, or "No tablets" |

Use **Search groups** to find a group, and **Manage**, **Rename** or **Delete** to work with it.

### **Create a reception group**

1. Under **Reception groups**, select **New group**.
2. Enter a **Name** for the shared reception point, usually the building it is in, for example, "Riverside House reception".
3. Optionally, choose a **Site** — the building your tenants share. Tablets in the group should be on this site. Leave it as **No specific site** if it doesn't apply.
4. Select **Create group**.

The new group appears in the Reception groups table.

### **Invite tenants**

1. Next to the group, select **Manage**. The **Tenants** panel opens.
2. Select **Add tenant**.
3. Enter the **Admin email** of an admin at the organisation you want to invite. This must be the email of their Clearooms account.
4. Optionally, enter a **Display name** — how the organisation appears on the kiosk, for example "Acme Legal (3rd floor)". If you leave it blank, their own organisation name is used.
5. Select **Send invitation**.

The invited admin sees your invitation under **Reception invitations** on their own Multi-tenant page. Their organisation appears on the kiosk once they accept.

### **Set the order tenants appear in**

In the Tenants panel, drag tenants into the order you want, or use the arrows. This is the order visitors see them on the kiosk.

### **Assign tablets to the group**

1. In the group's **Tablets** column, select **No tablets** (or the current tablet list).
2. Tick the paired tablets that should serve this reception. Each tablet shows its office and current setting, for example "Organisation default".
3. Select **Close**.

A tablet can only serve one reception group. Assigning a tablet to a group moves it off your organisation's default setup.

### **Rename or delete a group**

- Select **Rename** to change the group's name or site, then select **Save**.
- Select **Delete**, then **Delete group** to confirm. Its tenants are removed and any tablets in the group go back to your organisation default. This can't be undone.

### **Join another organisation's reception**

If your organisation is a tenant in someone else's building:

1. Open **Multi-tenant** and look under **Reception invitations**.
2. Accept the invitation to appear on their kiosk.

As a tenant, you see only your own membership and overrides. The host organisation manages the group and its tablets.

**Tip:** Make sure each tenant's display name makes clear where to go, such as including the floor, so visitors pick the right organisation at the kiosk.
