Guide to your first evolve

Last updated 21 days ago

1. Account Access

  • Receive Admin Credentials: The gospace AI team will provision your admin account and email you a login link (e.g. https://console.gospace.app/auth/login). Follow the link to set your password and access the admin console.

  • Assign Roles: If needed, assign additional admin users or roles in Admin > Roles so the appropriate team members have access. Roles

2. Create Locations & Upload Floorplans

  • Add a Location: In the admin portal, open Locations and click + Add Location. Enter the location Name and Address (you can search to auto-fill, then click Confirm Address to validate) .

  • Publish Location: After entering details, click Review Changes (top bar) and then Publish to activate the location . The location will now appear in the list of active locations.

  • IF you don't already have a CAD file of your floorplan. Send floorplans to gospace AI in any format (including pptx, pdf) to be auto-generated into a .DXF via our floorplan generator. This can take 24-7 hours. gospace will reach out once the floorplan(s) have been generated.

  • Add Floor (Layer): Still under that location, click + Add Layer (or Floor) and upload the floorplan file (e.g. a .DXF) for that level. Uploading the floorplan will automatically create zones, rooms, and workpoints on that floor .

    • For the DXF, we need the following layers:

      • workpoints

      • wall_perimeters

      • Optional: clusters

      • Optional: wall_partitions

      • Optional: zones

      • Optional: areas

      • Optional: rooms

  • Configure the Floorplan: Use the Floorplan Editor (under Workplace > Space Settings > Floorplan) to review/edit the generated layout. You can add zones, add labels to spaces, for example "Focus Pods". This ensures your office is accurate before allocations begin.

3. Directory Integration

    • SFTP (CSV): Select SFTP – user management. Enter your SFTP server’s Host, Port, and login credentials. (This should point to a folder of user/team CSV files.) SFTP

  • Map Directory Fields: After connecting, you’ll map CSV/AD fields to gospace user/team fields:

    • Custom Mappings/Filters: Use the custom mappings section to set default locations or priorities (e.g., map a “Default Location” column to a user’s home office). Apply filters if you only want a subset of users/teams.

4. Historic Occupancy Integration

  • Import Past Attendance (Optional): If you have historical occupancy/attendance logs (e.g. past check-ins), import them similarly. In Integrations, choose SFTP – location occupancy data or Snowflake – location occupancy data to point to your past data, and instead select the "Historic Occupancy" radio button.

  • Finalise Import: Confirm the mapping and run the import. This loads historical occupancy into gospace and trains AIDRA on past attendance patterns, we recommend at least 3 weeks of historic data, and ideally 12 months, these can be uploaded in one file as long as the date/time field is properly defined when mapping.

5. Real-Time Occupancy Integration

    • SFTP: Select SFTP – location occupancy data and provide your SFTP credentials, pointing to attendance CSVs.

  • Map Real-Time Fields: As before, map the Person ID to your user IDs and the Location field to gospace Locations (see Step 4). Confirm the integration. gospace will now ingest live occupancy data daily to refine its forecasts.

6. Microsoft SSO Setup

7. Features that need enabling for a simulation

  • Navigate to locations > select the location < settings. For a simulation ensure the following features are enabled/disabled:

8. Features that need enabling for a live configuration

  • Navigate to locations > select the location < settings. For a live building ensure the following features are enabled/disabled:

9. Wait 24 hours and time to evolve!

  • Navigate to workplace > select the location < allocations. As long as you have uploaded enough historic data for Aidra to learn (otherwise please wait up to 2 weeks), then click optimise you will begin to see allocations being created by the AI based on your user/team forecasting.

Choose Integration Type: In Integrations, select your directory sync method. gospace supports SFTP (CSV import), Microsoft Azure AD, or Snowflake .

Snowflake: Select Snowflake – user management. Enter your Snowflake Account Name (<org>.<account> format), Role (e.g. ACCOUNTADMIN), and credentials . This connects to your Snowflake database to import user/team tables.

Microsoft AD: Select Microsoft Active Directory – user management. In Azure, create or use an App Registration to get the Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID. Paste these into gospace (under Azure AD App’s Certificates & Secrets) . gospace will connect to Microsoft 365/Azure AD to import users.

Users: Map your columns (from CSV or AD attributes) to User ID, Email, First Name, Last Name . These are mandatory fields. Optionally map Active Start/End Date or Occupancy Mapping ID if used.

Teams: Map your columns to Team ID and Team Name . (Optional: map Allow Guests or other team properties as needed.)

Confirm and Import: Review the mappings carefully. Click Confirm to save the configuration and run an initial import . gospace will now sync users and teams (for SFTP/Snowflake it will update nightly) and create them in the system, automatically removing leavers.

Map Occupancy Fields: On the mapping screen, set the Person ID field to match the Person ID you used when importing users . This links each attendance record to the correct user in gospace. Also map the occupancy Location column so that each record’s location value matches a gospace Location.

Choose a Live Data Source: gospace supports real-time occupancy feeds from Cisco Meraki, Snowflake, or SFTP . Configure at least one for ongoing presence data.

Cisco Meraki: Select Meraki – location occupancy data. Enter your Organization ID and Network ID (obtain these from the Meraki dashboard via the API calls: e.g. GET /api/v0/organizations and /networks) and your API Key . Enable Meraki API access in your Meraki organization, then click Continue to test and activate. This will stream live Wi-Fi/Presence data into gospace.

Snowflake: Select Snowflake – location occupancy data and enter your account details (same Snowflake account, role, credentials) . gospace will poll a designated Snowflake table for check-in data each day.

Verify Your Domain: In Admin > Domain Verification, add and verify your organization’s email domain (e.g. example.com) by following the instructions (typically adding a DNS TXT record) . Verification is required before enabling SSO.

Enable SSO: Go to Integrations > SSO. For Microsoft SSO, enter your verified domain and the Azure AD App’s Client ID and Secret (the same values used for the directory integration). Enable the integration so that gospace redirects logins to Azure AD. (Support for Okta/Google SSO will be added later.) Once configured, all users in your domain can log into gospace with single sign-on .

Similarly, when you're ready to onboard users via ensure notifications are enabled via:
